You make the absolute best fishing videos ever. You break things down in a way that both beginners and advanced fishermen can take away something from your short quick vids. Keep up the great work!

Great video as always from you. Bluegill was the first fish I remember catching as a kid. They hold a special place in my heart as an angler and always will. Thanks again for the awesome content!

@@FishingwithNat nice! How big is it

I probably watched 20 videos on how to catch bluegill with a bobber rig or a bottom rig and you’re the first person to actually teach me how to catch them. Every other video I’ve watched was being absurdly specific about with line weight hook, and bobber you need to use I went out today with a bobber rig with 6 pound test on my ugly stick dock runner and a small split shot to a number 1 circle hook and on my old zebco with 15 pound test mono And caught five bluegill and a channel cat within an hour because of your video. Thank you very much. Tight lines man

How you manage to have so much practical information delivered clearly in such a short amount of time always amazes me. I've heard of people catching bluegills around where I live but I've never caught one myself which is strange because I'm fishing with the basic bobber and worm technique in waterways where other anglers claim they are. I only ever catch perch with this method. Thanks again for another great video!

Actually, I was planning to do that. I do target carp once in a while, especially with kids that have some experience with panfish but haven't caught anything big yet. A big carp puts up a heck of a fight and they are actually pretty interesting fish.

Love the content. Keep them coming. Have you ever done how to setup your rod and bait for panfish or catfish. I know you need bobbers and stoppers, but im still a little unsure of the distance between them and the hook as well as how heavy a weight to use.

Thanks for a great video! I grew up near Ketona Lake in Alabama & always enjoyed seeing the world record Bluegill mounted & displayed in the show window of a good friend's hardware store. At age 83, I now live on a larger lake 100 miles away. I especially enjoy catching Blugills on a fly rod! Great Fun! Thanks for sharing.

Honestly one of my favorites both to catch, and eat. It's a great time just going out and catching these. Very zen in the right spot. Good motivation to start a worm bin.

Any fish you'd say give a crumby fight given their size? In my experience, bullhead can either give you a decent fight or feel like you're dragging in a sad stick
