Fishing with live bluegill and cutbait can help you catch some big fish for sure. In this video we’re using live bluegill as bait and as chunks of cutbait. We end up catching big fish on both. On the bluegill I catch a 9+ lb flathead catfish – then on the cut bait I also catch a 25 lb blue catfish. A river like this is a perfect place to try big live bait and you just might find yourself catching the biggest fish of your life. Big thanks to Joe at Chatt Cats Fishing for the chance to catch these big fish.
Bottom line, give fishing with bluegill a try, they can definitely catch big fish. Check it out in the video below.
