Ya know......I grew up doing this very same thing and then one day I remembered the golden rule and put myself in the position of the blue gill. I thought why am I killing this fish to catch a bigger fish to reel it in and say yep that's a big fish. Artificial bait works too. Sorry don't mean to sound like liberal Larry. Imagine yourself with a hook thru your back and used for bait so a giant human could swallow you whole. Sounds pretty shitty to me. God put plants and animals on this planet for us to use and eat.....not to play with. Also you must honor and respect the life that an animal gives you in sacrifice for your own.

[@monstrofishing]

I respect that.

[@cavetownbaits]

I feel you man, as a kid I always wondered at what point does an animal stop mattering, like we care about dogs and horses but not cows and pigs. We don’t seem to care about small animals like fish or birds although they have a lot of personality as well.. I’d suggest to creator/ other live bait fisherman to explore SWIMBAIT FISHING. there is nothing better than watching an 8 a 5 and a 4 pounder follow back your REUSABLE bluegill glide bait, hooking the 8, and then catching the 5 next cast 20 seconds later, and getting a picture of both :) no disrespect to live bait fisherman, I use croaker and live shrimp all the time, but only when I’m eating my catch. For bass fishing there are more humane ways, unless you guys keep bass too, then you’re just too far gone.
