Its not better. This is the worst way to rig one i have ever seen. You can skip the gill and just put the hook in the back. Use a circle hook if you thing theres too much hook…. Think of it like putting fish on a stringer. You put something through the gills, fish is dead. Dead bait isnt good at catching fish
I use the size 1 and 1/0 Mustad hooks to freeline for snook ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 and they have been fantastic. The points are super sharp, and the hook is small enough to blend with my baitfish, yet large enough to land fish 30" or more. I also use these hooks when I'm pier or surf fishing with my kids. They tend to catch tons of smaller snapper, whiting, and catfish, and we get far fewer gut hooks with these Mustad in-lines, which means more of them survive after release. I was actually using these hooks when I caught my friend too, but I think that had more to do with the bait I was using ;-)
The main thing is if u got big bluegill on u they can’t peck him off the hook. Like when u just hook them thru the head they either gotta take it or they can’t get it or peck it off this is a great way to target what ur after or u will get sownrhing decent sized of any species

I usually just go through the top halfway back since I found that they like to strike upward and head first. The minnow looks natural and the line goes straight up. The fish can feel the line if it is rigged forward.
a good point was how good this works when sunnies are around. They'll pick at it and knock it off if its just dangling before the slabs have a chance! Great setup and you'll probably catch a few off one minnow!

don’t listen to people talking about how live bait is bad. A while ago people needed food and guess what they sometimes used, live bait. I think live bait is amazing
I hook my greenbacks just behind the peck fin. Bait stays alive until something smacks it as long as your mindful to not hit it's vitals. Makes the bait flutter which gets your target fish attention and it makes the bait stick out from the other bait around
@@deadly1246incorrect. I know what you’re seeing when you look it up, but there are just as many peer reviewed studies from unbiased non activist sites that show it’s untrue.
Works awesome! Just started using your method. Works great. Minnow lasts longer, too. I will say, our minnows the last couple trips were super small...so harder to find their mouth. They clam up like a toddler at the dentist and can't get the hook in! 😄
Thanks for the help and video I been just hooking it through the gill and caught alot fish and lost a whole lot because I wasn't hooking the minnow right but thanks to you that's finna be over with
I usually hook them in the back under the top dorsal fin or the tail in the meaty ereas.. This is different and I'm gonna have to try it. Never the belly or head!
Damn how i miss fishing, my late father always took me under a highway bridge (about an hour away from us) every saturday for a solid day of fishing.That was 10 years ago, sigh.
Split shot. I have how I rig this set up on my channel, go to playlist and go to how to playlist. It’s there. Step by step! Consider joining the family!
Make sure to check the point of the hook for scales (after putting the hook through any fish with scales) and remove them as they can result in missed hookups.
Minnows. But I use minnows in the summer mainly. When the weather is hot and crappie are lethargic, crappie are more inclined bite live bait, their natural forage. Thanks for watching! God bless
Just learned a new style of hooking live bait. Thank you, I usually just hook behind the back fin and I lose a lot of bait to that so might try this out.
I would bet my life that I've caught thousands more crappy than you have, I live in the crappie capital of the world. Cherokee County ,Alabama .Weiss Lake or Lake Weiss to all the yankees.
And if you want to catch more crappie and bigger. Crappie use what they call a keystone minnow it's artificial.ive caught over 50 fish on each one, thay are almost impossible to destory.
Right I couldn't help but feel like it's just skewering this toddler fish on to this hook. Is thier something wrong with me? It doesn't seem as bad when they're adults. Idk. I do eat fish, I don't eat cow though or pig or chicken.

I’m right here and can hear what your describing and not likening it one bit. - The minnow

Best demonstration on UA-cam by far
Damn that’s a good way you probably get a lot of hook sets on that rig
A good way to kill the minnow potentially before it catches a fish too

If you're not fishing for crappie with minnows you are letting your freezer down

Same here. Tube jigs work just as good and cheaper than trying to find minnows.

Thanks, that's how I'm going to hook all my bait from now on. I've been fishing for 55 years
Thanks for the wonderful demonstration 💥🎣
Never saw this one before great !
I Watched You Several times by stopping and starting the Video Ha Ha I Thought I was the only one wondering this ,Thanks a Lot You da Man !!!!

Only way to do it
"For crappie fishing" 😂😂😂 can't be to bad.
What’s does your comment mean?
In Australia if something is crappy it's not good. What is crappie as it says in the title?.... Great way to hook up your live bait.
Crappie is delish, albeit rather small but very good to eat.
Hmmmm🤔 by George I like it! 😂 very good sir, we’ll all be trying this I’m sure
Bro was keeping an eye on you 😂
its pretty cool how easily and painlessly that goes through the bottom of the gill
How u know its painless when u are not in the body of the fish?
@@dominikhaselwanter4758 there’s nothing under the gill so it just slides through
Bullshit. Have you read up on this in detail? Apparently not
“That minnow” is bros favorite phrase apparently
I never thought about that way, this should be named after you, big thanks
"Yeah buddy! I'm over here doin the 903 minnow wiggle!" 🤓
Wow I need to do it that way now 👍
Damn! That’s a pretty good way to do it!
Finally! Another left handed fisherman that I’ve seen on UA-cam shorts
Let’s goooo! Thanks for watching! God bless
Yeah... one time watching your show... ... you're legit. That's top advice, bro.
Wiggling wiggling in pain 😂but hey I learned something today
Fish do not actually feel pain. Look it up, it's easy info to find
@@Geralt_of-Rivialooked it up and youre wrong. Fish do feel pain.
@@deadly1246incorrect. I know what you’re seeing when you look it up, but there are just as many peer reviewed studies from unbiased non activist sites that show it’s untrue.
Fish feel pain 100% of the time. Maybe you should inform yourself properly before you write such junk.
Even the YTer agrees that fish feel pain.
Works awesome! Just started using your method. Works great. Minnow lasts longer, too. I will say, our minnows the last couple trips were super small...so harder to find their mouth. They clam up like a toddler at the dentist and can't get the hook in! 😄
It is a great method. I use it all the time! Richard, if you slightly squeeze their stomach they will open their mouth until you are done.
That’s true!
Thanks, I'll try that. I tried squeezing below the eyes, but didn't think about the stomach. 👍
@@richardbushey4134 I learned it by accident but figured it was worth sharing LOL!
“Top of the back” 😂
... way he said it had me rolling 🤣 too
That’s a damn good trick
Perfect i never would've thought of that
I like how smooth you went in through the mouth and out the gill. The hook didn't even poke him.
How did I never think of this ? Thanks for teaching us a new way to rig minnows. 👍🏾
Thanks for the tip, I’ll try it next week up north on vacation
This is not a problem if you learn how to trigger the same fish with scented plastics. Less mess and less expensive.
Agreed, never understood live bait. Not very sporting either.
Thanks for the help and video I been just hooking it through the gill and caught alot fish and lost a whole lot because I wasn't hooking the minnow right but thanks to you that's finna be over with
I just learned something new today. Thank you sir 👍💯💯💯💯
You’re killing that fish!!!
It’s a minnow, it’s bait lol
Minnow looks like he is having the time of his life
Yes sir!
Thanks for sharing your minnow hookup. I can't wait to try it.
Awesome tip! Thank you sir!
Thanks for the knowledge friend!👍 Cant wait to try this!!!
I usually hook them in the back under the top dorsal fin or the tail in the meaty ereas.. This is different and I'm gonna have to try it. Never the belly or head!
Never seen this before. Can't wait to give it a go! Thanks for sharing. 👍
I thought you was going right through the eyes what do you know what a surprise nice
Yes sir! Try it and let me know!
Bro congrats on your fishing adventure tanks for posting your videos
Nice! Helps keep the bluegills from ripping them off by the tail.
I like it! Bet that men'er stay on the hook FOOOREEEVER
It’s the little things ! Thanks my man !
Left-handed is the way to go man
For real
Good technique. Going to try this
Damn how i miss fishing, my late father always took me under a highway bridge (about an hour away from us) every saturday for a solid day of fishing.That was 10 years ago, sigh.
Sorry to hear about that bud. Can't imagine what your going thru, if you're ever around the south central area of Arkansas, I'll take you fishing
Thanks for the tip i will try it out this summer
As a rookie I use to feed the fish lol😂😂😅😅😅. Thought the fish were getting smarter at taking my bait.
I normally take my lures swimming half the time I go
It's dying dying dying not wiggling 😂
Man I may need to do this. Losing so many minnows as I cast my acc Stix with a minnow for some reason. Lol
Buddy.. you cast a minnow you'll fling it off nine times out of ten, especially if you've got it hooked right for crappie fishing.
@@levidoug1173 lol yea i see
Thank you!! I have been wanting to target crappie for a while, will use this if i am able to go
the longer it lives the better
Not if it’s in constant pain
@@Lee-Onehat's how live bait works dawg
When we see on video 💀
When we go fishing and catch ☺️
As my dad always used to say ‘’tip it with a Minna’’
Are you using a bobber? And do you rig it weightless or with a splitshot
Split shot. I have how I rig this set up on my channel, go to playlist and go to how to playlist. It’s there. Step by step! Consider joining the family!
I've been hooking them from the bottom of the mouth up through the nose for years and it's working just fine for me.
They can’t fully breathe, they need to open mouth to open gills (at least for minnows I use)
He clearly states the video is for the people asking in the comments... So I really don't get the point of this comment. Lol
Hey i used to go threw the tail but your method is much better bc of the way the minnow can still move!! Thanks bud
Yes sir. This is for crappie fishing. This is for when the bluegill won’t leave me alone, they can’t take the minnow off as easy this way.
@@903fishing yea them bluegill can sure be a pain eating up all the minnows... I'm soled on it
I usually just go through the bottom jaw and out the nostril. I do miss hook sets a lot doing it that way so ima give this way a shot.
I will be trying this method thanks.👍👍👍
Yall better not let PETA see this, lmao
😂🤣😂🤣😭😭😭
I’m not worried about PETA. It’s bait.
You sir , know your stuff ! Great video will definitely be using that .
Make sure to check the point of the hook for scales (after putting the hook through any fish with scales) and remove them as they can result in missed hookups.
Drop shot hook right under the spine is my go to but I'm not a live bait guy. I'm an artificial bass guy..
I always Hook in the tail because they live longer,I have a question for you, do you catch more crappie with minnows or jigs?
Minnows. But I use minnows in the summer mainly. When the weather is hot and crappie are lethargic, crappie are more inclined bite live bait, their natural forage. Thanks for watching! God bless
Finally a left hander praise lord almighty
As left handed dude I appreciate this lmao 😂
Just learned a new style of hooking live bait. Thank you, I usually just hook behind the back fin and I lose a lot of bait to that so might try this out.
new Skill unlocked
If your catching bluegill that damn big you need to use a crankbait and try for a worlds record.
Another person that didn’t listen or understand the video lol yeah we catch 10 inch bluegill on minnows on the regular
Looks very effective. I'll give that a try. Thanks for sharing
I love how at the end he catches a fish
Watch a video on the channel you will see 1000’s of fish caught using this method
Great rig. But damn that minnow is not having a good time.😂
Why would you waste time with minnows to catch bluegill? You can catch 30 bluegill on the same Dead Worm
I am crappie fishing.
Wiggle n wiggle n wiggling 😂😂😂😂😂
I just drill 10 ft poles into the riverbed in a grid, hook it up to a generator, WHAM, fish.
DuPont lure is quicker
Seen you on Turner fishing so decided to check out your videos and they did not disappoint. Ima subscriber now
Thanks for joining the family!
I new to fishing, and that piece of advice is extremely helpful❤
Yeah man, time to go drag them big bluegill out the lake..
You hook the minnow through the tail ,it will not die. Also,the minnow will constantly swim around.
You didn’t listen to WHY I do this.
I don't need you to tell me what I already know
I would bet my life that I've caught thousands more crappy than you have, I live in the crappie capital of the world. Cherokee County ,Alabama .Weiss Lake or Lake Weiss to all the yankees.
