Jar of Minnows?

[Koz]

Has anyone heard of this or tried it before? I'm not advocating, just curious.

Very interesting!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the second very aggressive fish that comes in is a SM correct?

 

Wonder how long fish hold on them like that......might be exposing a cheating method at least on the local level ?

Looks like the jar of Minnows and a gold fish was put into a bass bed!

Yes the 1st bass USA Smallmouth the 2nd a Largemouth. 

Some well known trophy bass anglers put a basket of live crawdads attached to the anchor rope to cum in bass, old trick illegal in California lakes.

If so that's terrible human behavior.   Changes the way I interpret the results dramatically as well.

Anyone who has ever had a predator fish in an aquarium will answer...

The predator will always be a predator. They will not always consume the prey. I used to have cichlids. They will kill fish for the sake of killing them. They will eat fish if they are hungry.

The majority of bass anglers are honest but as Ray Scott recognized a few cheat. Ray created the blind draw tournament to reduce cheating.

Trophy bass anglers are not a high % of bass anglers but a few cheat as Mike Long proved in spades.

It amazes honest folks when someone cheats because we don’t think that way.

So looks like they are interested  in the school of bait, they're grouped up huddled together  as well. The minnow and goldfish on the hook are back hooked, not really swimming and not looking natural at all. Odds are the feed instinct takes over when theres a group of food opposed  to a struggling bait fish that can't swim and doesn't  look natural

Very interesting. I would have loved to see what would have happen if dropped a few in there, unhooked

Our neighbors had a minnow bucket tied to their dock 24/7, I caught a lot of LM but burning a rattle trap by the bucket as a youngster

The jar must be made of fluorocarbon since the bass aren't scared off by it. The smallmouth also struck the end with the red lid first. I think @A-Jay might be on to something with that red front treble hook. ? 

 Kidding aside, Cool video. Thanks for posting.

Maybe we should all start throwing an A-rig a lot more.

Ever tried it? Haha 

 

hauling water fruitlessly for hours with that thing is not exactly fun

Yeah if you despise spinnerbaits as much as you do I can’t imagine you loving an 
A-rig much either ?

I sent him a spinnerbait properly rigged. I think he might change his mind this spring.

I been slinging it!! Fished some deep timber with it over the weekend

Not exactly that, or for bass, but it's called live chumming, works great and no jar required.

I’ve heard of guys dropping crawfish through a PVC pipe at the same location over time to train the fish that the pipe means free crawfish.   Then on tournament day they drop the tube and then drop crawfish lures around the tube.  I’ve never known anyone who tried this but I’ve heard rumors.

 

Reminds me of a guy that joined our bass club in the 90s.  He told everyone at the meeting that he intended to drop a cage of crawfish before the tournament to attract fish.   There was nothing in our rules preventing it so no one objected.  He showed up at the tournament weight in with no fish and we never saw him again after that.

Definitely a bed, you can see the fry in the right of the frame.  I didn't listen to the audio, but this has to be one of the sillier things I've seen.  I proves nothing and won't help you catch.
