Top bait tip. Use maize instead of corn. Prep it then store it in a bucket until it develops a clear slime. I use a bucket with a lid and can tell when it starts to ferment when the lid domes a bit. This will draw fish like crazy. You can tweak this prep method by using ruby maize to increase the sugar content. Or by adding bait flavours etc.
Hey man I was wondering why you release the carp back into the water in Australia their a huge pest and your supposed to just kill them if you catch one just wanted to know if their as much of a pest their and what the rules where.
I've caught trout and sometimes their stomach is full of snail shells. I use corn to catch trout sometimes and they aren't able to digest the corn, because I digested the fish.
@@ianpatterson3061 A can of tuna packed in water and a can of white corn, mix them together. It's my favorite bait for kokanne trout. Where I live there isn't many carp, but some lakes hold catfish. I use chunks of hotdogs to catch them tho.
I study freshwater fish and I fish for carp. Corn is digestible for fish, however it might not appear that way since the kernels may not break down completely. This also happens in humans and it is completely harmless. Even if the kernel doesn’t break down, fish are able to pass it through their digestive track with little ease. Corn is also shown to increase the mass of fish when used as feed, so corn isn’t really a harmful bait for fish.
You can't use deer corn cause they won't break down in the stomach but you can use can corn or if you want to use deer corn you have to boil it and when it gets soft you can use it as bait but no hard corn
@@jaredgarza5624 you can use deer corn. Carp have pharyngeal teeth which help crush foods like mollusks, crustaceans, and seeds. Plus their stomach acid is strong enough to dissolve deer corn. Also, the corn won’t expand in their stomach since it doesn’t have enough water or time to inflate. I don’t use deer corn since it’s more convenient to buy canned corn, but there shouldn’t be any issues with using either. If I do use deer corn, I like to let it soak so you get bigger kernels for hair rigs.
@@AyingerSmasher would you say most freshwater fish tend to have pharyngeal teeth, and do you tend to notice if there are trends in families that indicate the presence of them? Seems to be prevalent in marine species but I’m not familiar with freshwater, but I’d assume most that eat hard bodied prey have pharyngeal jaws?
@@kunaiwithchain5278 jaw and mouth structures are (usually) dependent on the diet of the fish. Looking at the order of Cypriniformes (the largest freshwater fish order), all of these fish have some form of pharyngeal teeth and no oral teeth. There is a research paper about Cypriniformes and the evolutionary trends of developing pharyngeal dentitions if you are interested in reading more.
Fishologist here, a study was done a while back in which trout were raised on nothing but corn. They grew at the same rate as the control group and had no issues digesting the corn.
Yes it's only the thin outer hull they don't digest which just like with people it passes easily without harm...people just say things without knowing what they're talking about.
it could also have something to do with the type of corn you use,the non-digestable type is sweet corn genetically engineered to the point even the human stomach can't digest it and our stomach is very acidic
I'm fishing for carp with corn for 23 years and the truth is if you don't prepare your corn ahead(boiling) the fish digest it slower,but eventually they will digest it. The canned corn you use has absolutely no problem.
Trout can shit out a snail shell, bass can crap out a crayfish shell, Carp digests anything organic. The people stirred up about corn hurting fish are ignorant. I’ve fished with corn all my life, I’ve had conversations with conservation officers regarding corn. Dry corn floats until soaked, birds more likely to eat that. Fresh corn off cob is the best, sweet corn.
Just as a reminder - a pikes digestive system is literally powerful enough to break down hooks, carp eat muscles etc INCLUDING the shell and even suck up stones and swallow them occasionally. I'm pretty sure they will survive a few kernels per acre.
@@Archtew gastroliths is the scientific term for stones swallowed to aid digestion. birds do it too. ever seen a chicken inspect a rock and eat it anyway? funny shit. fish do the same thing cuz they also don't have grinding teeth like we do.
Hello! I'm Brad and i have a degree in fisheries management from Auburn University. Corn feeding is VERY common in a lot of farm raised pond fish, as well as fine grain corn meal for fish prior to a certain size! The majority of the diet of the channel cats that i work with is, infact, corn based with some other things such as shrimp meal and fish meal mixed in for other dietary needs of the fish, usually all mixed together into small chunks or pellets. I know I'm late but i hope this helps!
I spent a year in Texas and I came to find you don't tell a Texan they can't do something involving hunting, fishing, or guns. It doesn't end well for you.
Lots of people think baiting for hunting applies to fishing bait. When they say it is illegal to bait animals with corn (or anything else specifically) it usually means feeding deer/bear/etc in piles to get them conditioned to coming to a specific area for a hunter to easily kill one.
@@seanvanwallegham2108 Not true, it is actually illegal to bait turkeys to hunt, also illegal to bait migratory birds. (Law says illegal to hunt within 400 meters of where any bait has been placed, for both types). It is illegal in manitoba and alberta (aside from a few exceptions), soon to be illegal in other places as well, especially for deer. Luckily I expect it will be illegal in ontario within 5 years, as it spreads disease and kills animals, lures too many animals into an area that the area cannot handle them.
Fish biologist here! Really Depends on the fish but carp similar fish are able to digest corn fine, there are a lot of koi and carp farms overseas that use cornmeal as a base to their feed
Even as someone who’s just doomscrolling youtube shorts and know nothing about fishing, I really appreciate how thoroughly he researched the subject at hand to find a definitive answer
People hear “doesn’t digest properly” and assume that means poison or something ,it just means your body doesn’t process every part of it so a lot of it might be left over after digestion that doesn’t inherently mean that it’s bad for you.
Seriously, they really think that animals that eat shellfish will be poisoned by a little corn?! Not to mention humans can't fully digest corn either and it hasn't killed us technically.
It doesn't but the whole idea behind conservation and just keeping our public waters healthy isn't about what "isn't bad". It's about what's good, so sometimes the advice isn't that we are poisoning water but more that we aren't helping. That said, the corn you buy in a grocery store is garbage and I wouldn't feed it to anyone or anything but it's legal in most areas for fish so do whatever works and is okay in local waters.
@@pretzelmaker3122I wasn’t even arguing against conservation. The corn that people buy isn’t going to do anything bad to you inherently I guess if you don’t like the flavor or something but i don’t know what you’re even on about.
If you grew up in Iowa, you learn that pretty much everything that's an omnivore can digest corn. Us humans don't exactly do the best job at it, but we still digest it in a sense.
I grew up in iowa and my elementary school literally took us on yearly fishing trips and we would get little paper shot cups filled with corn for the bait. I remember one year a boy in my class got a hook stuck in my scalp on his "backswing" 😅 my teacher was more scared than I was
@@pinkpeachblossom It's so funny how those trips go. For us it was a tobacco and cotton farm. You guys did corn, I'm sure the Georgians did peaches, Floridians oranges, and Idahoans potatoes.
@@MeanBeanComedy in PA most of us go to Hershey 😭 no wonder half of these kids fat asf y’all going fishing and to farms and shit we get sent to literal chocolate world
"Aunt Matilda told me this when I was 6. I've been carrying this misinformation for 30 years, and gets tilted when people tried to overwrite it from my brain with better info."
What the hell so the fishermen on Rhode island are like oh yea you can stick metal in to a living being and trow it out of his home. but you can't use corn because they can't digest it
The thing is it’s not even that the fish (and humans) can’t digest corn, it’s just that very thin film on the outside of the kernel, the inside digests just fine
When I was little, my dad took me fishing for stocked trout with corn and it went quite well. I asked how he knew it would work and he said he had run into the DNR while they stocked that pond and said they were often fed corn while being grown.
my dad did the exact same thing for me while on vacation. we werent catching anything so he said brb and came back with canned corn. those suckers went nutssss
I am a fisheries biologist and to my knowledge carp are among some of the species that can perform cellulase so they should be able to fully digest the corn. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. (Also I’m a marine biologist so I’m not an expert on carp, but I’ve done a lot of studying on fish)
@@ItsDozzy Well when you have hundreds of people fishing them out every weekend it depletes the population fast. Also some of the shallower lakes in my area freeze solid killing anything that is left every winter. So there wouldn't be anything to fish if they didn't stock them.
When I visited a fish hatchery as a kid they were fed some corn based product. Probably mixed with soy to boost the protein. My guess is they quit using it so removed the restriction as bait. It used to not be allowed.
You can use corn on the hook everywhere. CHUMMING with corn is illegal in some states. You can easily get around this by making pack bait with corn in it. There are tons of recipes for it on TH-cam. You can also throw it alot farther, and keep the bait in a more concentrated area.
@@mulldrifterz6469 that's not what you said, at all. His comment added other points. How can you not see that? You said NOTHING about freshwater. You also said "some states," and he said, "EVERYWHERE." DERRRRRP
@@nunliski nah, its something even deeper. beyond the title of the video. beyond the last sentence of the video. beyond the entire discussion of the video being about corn being illegal or not. nah fam, its about learning the laws before fishing AND hunting before you even purchase a fishing pole or a rifle. its about learning about ALL endangered species, even the ones in Africa including plants and fungi. even though that will take a full PhD level degree worth of studies just to go fishing for a weekend get away. if it wasnt obvious enough, im extremely sarcastic due to people trying to read deeper into a topic.
In the UK, Carp or MudPigs as some of us refer to them, are worshipped with an almost cult like enthusiasm. They are pampered and cared for like pedigree race horses or beloved pets. As such, if anglers bait was likely to harm them, it would be banned in an instant here and yet Corn is an incredibly popular feed and hook bait, so you can take that as good evidence that it's harmless.
UK avid carp angler here. Approve of this comment! Never heard them called Mudpigs though personally. In my experience, certain fish are called 'silt pigs' if their mouth is stained black showing they have a tendency to feed in the silt/mud.
Pennsylvania USA here ..we are blessed to have a great population of carp ..they aren't fished much on purpose. I fish for them often and can corn 🌽 is my #1 bait . Along with Wheaties cereal. Take a handful and dunk it in water and work it in to a putty and use it on a treble hook 🪝😉 then you can keep the smaller fish off the bait. The carp will smash the bait in back of its mouth when it feels the hook it can't spit out the treble..works like a charm. ✌🐷👍
A lot of carp are not native to the US and were introduced here to eat the excess grass in lakes made for hydro electric dams. They're very invasive and populations have gotten out of control many times. Fish the hell out of them
Someone say the same about the black bass in Italy, but I'm not God and I don't want to extinguish a species that... yes, completely ruined the bioregulation of our lakes but... I think the nature know how to repair herself and killing them all will not let the lost species revive. Sorry for the english...
@@BlueDart1971 common and mirror carp aren't harmful to the environment at all. Big head and silver carp are harmful. Common and mirror carp are great fish to fish for. Im from the UK so I fish for them alot. Actually fishing for them as I type this
Fun fact: the "undigested corn" in your poop is just the outermost covering. You can (and do) digest everything inside the kernel, but the seed coat is a little more resilient.
Lol lol lol lol precisely, which is why it's SO FUNNY when people think the entire thing is undigested. A) then why would we eat it and B) that's not corn inside that seed coat 🤣
@@angelalovell5669 my mom has ulcerative colitis, she does 💩 out the 🌽 kernel completely intact...😂😂 we lovingly refer to her as "salad shooter"... 🤷♀️😁
One good technique I use for carp is a weightless piece of bread on size 6-7 j hook. Tear or cut off a piece of bread around 2-3 inches in width. Put the hook through the piece of bread twice and wrap it around the hook, leaving the tip sitting just above the bread. squish the bread around the hook, only gently, enough to squeeze most of the air out of the bread but not too much otherwise it won't be able to expand and "fluff out" in the water, which carp love. Another thing is carp are actually sensitive to the resistance made by the sinker and tight line. Lighter the weight on the line the better, and having some slack in the line helps with creating as little resistance as possible. Carp generally move around when they eat so you will notice the line starting to straighten when they take the bait. This is when you pick the rod up and Either wait for the fish to pull out the slack or wind in a bit of the slack and set the hook. I've caught some monster fish using this technique.
I am a certified bonafide fish biologist with my certification from McDonald's. In my experience, fish aren't able to digest corn because I digest them before they can digest the corn.
As a match (tournament) angler from the uk we use corn a lot for carp and other fish. To the point we use multiple tins in a 5hr match both as feed (chum) and hook baits. Carp can live for multiple decades and seen the same fish come in on the feed in the margins to eat leftover bait and it’s never seemed to have done them any harm whatsoever. Also have a friend who keeps koi as a pastime and he to be fair is quite anal about what he feeds his fish but is quite happy to feed them a tin of washed sweetcorn as a treat.
Fun fact: It's not the corn that we can't digest, it's the kernel skin. When you see corn in your poop, it's really just the skin, but filled with poop.
I think that Someone there tha makes the rules have shares in bait/tackle shops. They don't want you to use corn ,they want you to buy stuff from them.
As someone who lives in RI..are state is still run by the mob...can't buy toothbrushes and toothpaste from the same store on a Sunday in one city...would not surprise me if they made corn illegal just so they could make more money...
If you ever confused about hunting or game law in your area, reach out to your local game warden or Regional game warden if you don't have a local one.
@@notyouraveragegoldenpotato yes, but the actual letter of the law can be hard for most to read. With all the different subsections and all the specialization. Not to mention one law, could be indifference to another more recent law. Meaning the more recent law is correct
Some folks will always find something wrong with fishing. I was criticized for so many things in my fishing career. I think it's great that you found a way to kill sometime and have a little fun during a long dreary winter
Aside from some herbivores with rumen such as cow, giraffes, etc. It's hard for many animals to digest the cellulose in corn, making it poop out whole. That being said, it's just insoluble fiber and helps with clearing the digestive tract. As long as they're not consuming corn by the buckets, they're fjne
Corn should be thrown (welled/swelled?) in water and cooked for 12/25 hours and cooked before using as bait or chum. As do many other grains and nuts. Uncooked corn and grains can kill fish, its hard to digest for them. Common knowledgde and common bait here in europe. Corn, peas, chickpeas, hempseed, peanuts, pellet feed for hogs, all works well.
Best bait for carp: box of wheaties and some garlic water, mash into ball, completely cover hook with bait. The carp will inhale the entire wheatie ball and then set hook. Grandpa taught me that like 25yrs ago and it still works to this day.
In South Australia corn is a staple bait for carp and as they are an invasive species they can not be return to the water at all in Australia. Another pudding bait I use is white bread mixed with some flour and STRAWBERRY or RASPBERRY jelly crystals mashed into a thick dough and kept moist . Use enough to cover a size 4 to 6 circle hook with a very small weight and bob's your uncle. Carp are good fertilizer buried in the garden.
Carps clean the poluted water. Australia killed the Great Barrier Reef with phosphorus ( sewage and agricultural runoff). Those corals live there because the area is soo poor in phosphorus due to to the age of the land. Even a lot of plants in Australia are sensitive to phosphorus, like the Proteaceae wich are poisoned by little phosphorus. Silver carps that are hated are the only tool to clean phosphorus. They could have saved the reefs of Australia if the fresh water was cleaned by them before being released in the ocean. USA is 100 years behind europe ecology and Australia is 200 years.
Carp are omnivores which makes incredibly good at disgesting carbohydrates like corn. They can also fully utilize the starch it contains. Of course they do it better when the corn is well boiled/chopped up. If you give it whole and they swallow it so, it can end up unused. It can also end up unused if the temperature is too low, because fish are cold blooded and can't digest properly when they 're too cold.
It might only be illegal in Rhode Island statewide, but if you go into a state fishing regulation handbook there will be specific locations where it is specifically illegal, or places that are "artificial lure only." Including Utah, whose booklet you apparently read but missed that section.
In Europe Carpfishing is a thing and with a viarity of really specialized methods. They love theire carps. Anyways corn is digestable by carps. only the shell of corn is being pooped out. Often there is a mix of corn, tiger nuts and hemp seeds used (coocked and fermented for 2 days) to creat food carpets for them on spots they pass by. Then used armoatized hook bait on these carpets to attrackt the fish. Often its used over multiple days with additional feeding the spot so that some people use like 50 kilos on such a trip (some do even use way more) to keep the carp on the spot. I am skeptical about these method because its not sustainable for the health of the waterbody. but yes. it works.
I really appreciate this video because I thought of the same "2 parallel electrons" example when I couldn't quite get magnetism. My logic was, "If two electrons are in an inertial reference frame, shouldn't the magnetic attraction between them be an objective sensation of their velocity?" I don't exactly know if the math works out, but the best I can figure is that the relationship between speed, magnetism, and relativistic effects makes it such that electrons always seem to be electrically repelling away from each other at a certain acceleration
I was fishing and had a can of open corn on the bank. Mama and baby ducks discovered it and I just let them enjoy the treat - too cute to be chased off.
Had owners walking their dogs off leash and the dogs would eat the bait I had out, used anchovies, shrimp heads etc. they really shouldn’t let their dogs loose where people fish, they were lucky no baited hooks were left out to be eaten.
Growing up (in Rhode Island), the reason everyone said it's illegal (ONLY in trout stocked waters) is because they feed trout corn-based bait in the State hatcheries. You can absolutely use corn to catch carp in rivers and ponds that aren't stocked.
Corn will also do you pretty well for trout. For carp, interestingly enough, I was taking chunks of regular white bread and balling them up on the hook and absolutely slaying at a local pond
I catch trout on corn too, but the trout aren't able to digest the corn, only because I digested the fish. I've found snail shells in their stomachs, not sure why people are worried about corn.
"Carp are surprisingly good at detecting hooks" Me, remembering the time I caught a carp with just a bungie cord and a twizzler off the side of a boat with my friend and I both leaning over looking at it the whole time
In the UK, some fisheries don’t allow the use of corn because they say that the carp (and other species) dont digest 100% of the corn properly and therefor when whole pieces of corn pass through the digestive system and out the other end, other fish come along and pick up the non digested kernels which have the potential to spread a disease that the original fish may have been carrying. Beside the fact that this kind of makes a lot of sense, corn is an excellent bait.
@@dimlylit3086 you refuse to believe that people are dumb enough to think that rice will swell up inside of a bird as if it were a living flying rice cooker? I remember hearing about people who would insist on using bird seed instead of rice because if you don't understand the tradition behind the rice, screw it use something else. Of course this was some years ago and back then people thought that day care centers were staffed by witches who regularly levitated in front of children and the whole nation was on the edge of its seat trying to locate the bat boy. Simpler times, ya know.
The bird doesn't explode however if they eat enough it can expand and rupture their tiny stomachs bread is bad for them too most people don't throw enough for this to happen
Honestly with my 9th grade honors bio degree the "we can't digest it so why would they" makes a lot of sense like if I saw that on a quiz and didn't know I would probably go with that 😭😭😭
You can digest corn, just not particularly efficiently... especially poorly if it's uncooked non sweet corn... otherwise we would eat the fucking stuff.
The reason why we cant digest the outside shells of kernels of corn is because theyre high in cellulose, which is something that the human digestive system cant digest. However, a study called "The gut microbiome and degradation enzyme activity of wild freshwater fishes influenced by their trophic levels" found cellulose digesting bacteria in the gut microbiome of certain herbivorous, omnivorous, and filter feeding fish. However, carnivorous fish had a much lower percentage of cellulose digesting bacteria on average which would likely cause the stories people have heard about corn clogging up the digestive tract of fish.
Actually a carp taste like crap, unless you know about the mud vein. I grew up on lake Erie and if prepared correctly and smoked, tastes like and has the consistacy of ham.
@@disguisebtch2671 That makes zero sense? First I owned my own restaurant and have cooked for 64 years. I just pointed out that if prepped correctly carp is actually delicious.
On another note I have had good luck making homemade boilies it's been better than corn for me. 1 cup Flour 1 cup corn meal 1/8 cup Sugar Mix with water until doughy, then make out a bunch of small dough balls. For a liter of water into a pot and pour a liter of corn syrup. Heat the water until the corn syrup is dissolved. Then throw all of your dough balls in the water. Proceed cooking until they all float to the top. Done!!!! Just like with corn throw some in the area of the water and then put one on a hook and cast it in the pile. They will eat all the hookless ones and not think twice before biting into your hook on yours as long as they don't hit your hook first.
As someone who owns fish: they can eat corn, but it must be blanched or well cooked. I've seen people use raw corn and the problem is it bloats inside them and then they cannot move it through their digestive track.
Same with other dried particles if not soaked long enough and cooked properly will kill fish tiger nuts are a really good bait but banned in alot of fisheries in the uk because people dont cook them properly and kill fish
Well, in humans the hull of a corn kernel is indigestible as our bodies lack a way of breaking down cellulose molecules quick enough- same reason you can’t eat grass. Carp on the other hand, do have the ability break down cellulose molecules, grass carp for example get this name because they can clear a choked out pond with ease, the reason? Because their body is designed to eat plant matter. That said, the hull of a corn kernel is much easier to break down than that of an aquatic grass stem’s cell wall. I’m no marine biologist, but the physical evidence suggests an overwhelming- DUH. Considering the percentage of dry weight cellulose in the cell wall of a corn kernel is 28.7% cellulose- the percentage for grass is a bit different considering how diverse the group is, but for both aquatic and terrestrial grass cell walls, 35-45% of the dry weight is cellulose.
Used to go freshwater trout fishing. Canned corn was the perfect bait. These were usually state raised stocked fish. Whether the corn looked like a fish egg or the pellets they grew up on didn't matter. Once caught, the skillet solved all digestive issues. You could chum them with corn but fine gravel worked better. Throw the gravel, and the trout all thought it was feeding time back at the hatchery.
Corn isn't harmful to carp, but if you're feeding them too much, it might give them diarrhea. Corn is a common ingredient in fish meals, used to feed carp, catfish, pike, and trout, among other species. It is also added to some commercial diets to boost growth.
Depends. Sweetcorn is going straight through no issue, But maize/feed corn needs to be boiled and then soaked for atleast 24 hours for the carp to digest it proper. same goes for hemp and tigernuts etc
The real reason is not the fish digesting issues. The issue is that when people fish with corn they tend to throw handfuls of corn into the water, this is called chumming. Chumming gives the fisherman an unfair advantage over the fish and CHUMMING is illegal in some states,
About corn and carp,corn is the best bait and sweet corn is the easiest bait to digest if coocked properly wich means if people saw carp with undigested corn its probably only becoz the corn is uncoocked and even then its coocked it doesn affect the fish at all.
I am from the Netherlands and we fish a lot with corn and it is totally safe for carp and other species. However, it is safe to use canned/soft sweetcorn. If you use the hard feeding corn, you need to soak it in water for 24 hours and then cook for like 20-30 minutes. Then its totally fine. But if you use the hard corn, yes you will get trouble. Either I think both makes sence ;-)
As an ecologist, many of us think the rule is a little dumb. In certain conditions of trout fishing in other states like South dakota, there are some instances where it's illegal to have any "human food" bait even in your possession. Now nobody will call you on it, but technically you can get fined for something like having a snickers bar in your pocket in those cases. Even if you're clearly only using something like worms as bait.
The only corn that can be a problem is uncooked dried corn as used for bird seed. Canned sweetcorn or dried corn that has been boiled until soft is definitely not a problem and the Carp love it.
Im from the uk theres no problem with actual sweetcorn from the tin or frozen from a bag doesn't hurt fish at all but MAZE corn is alot harder and tougher and will hurt carp if its not prepared properly it needs to be cooked for a long time for it to be safe
They’ve been using sweetcorn or maize(if you want to give it its proper name) for carp fishing, since the sixties, and I know, that it used to be used for catching grey mullet(thick & thin lip varieties) from around the sewage outlets(which is why the mullet got a taste for it) around the coast(Cornwall uk), before they banned raw sewage from being discharged as a norm…….. But, as far as carp are concerned, I think you will find, that they have grinding pads, in their gullets, which are designed to grind up all sorts of vegetable matter, and so, I don’t think that sweetcorn is going to be a problem…….
Common carp is a native species here in europe and one of our main target fish. In my country its easily the highest farmed fish.Back in the days before high protein pellets it was the main thing to feed farm fish. And even nowdays huge amount of these farms still using corn to feed the stock. On the other hand most predator fish digest bones of other fish, clams ,small mammals and even birds and they dont even look at corn laying on the bottom... ofc its my experience maybe na spieces differ
The problem lies in catch-and-release fishing when using corn as bait, if a fish takes the bait, it may swallow the hook, which can be difficult to remove without causing injury or death to the fish.
I know it’s an old video, but in Europe, there is a large carp fishing community. Corn isn’t a problem for the fish as long it is cooked. There are many people which say, that it isn’t a problem even if it’s raw, but there are votes for both sites. But cooked corn defenetly isn’t harmful for for fish. We have large carps in Germany and French and they eat corn their whole lives whitout problems.
It's actually illegal to fish in any body of water that's more than 3 cubic meter or the size of like 4 medium-large bathtub. The reason being that not only that there will be a chance that there could be an endangered species (bacteria, fungus, etc) present at that exact spot, but it also related to some kind of Environmental problem that is to lengthy to list all of them here. This law is effective in 52 state in united state and you could be jailed for as long as 30 years in prison or fined for as much $30.000
Last I heard about it from the dfw biologist, it was specifically the issue with trout, and other small panfish that are farm raised and released. Something to do with the feed they use, makes trout eat corn kernels and they can't digest the corn kernel skins.
Fun fact 2: Fresh corn is good only when water is warm and in small amount. When it's canned or cooked it's okey no matters what time of year it is. Raw corn can expand in stomach too much destroying fish stomach.
Their stomachs explode from the corn. They cannot digest parts of the corn kernels, which end up sitting in their gut. The fish sometimes stop eating and die from starvation, and sometimes their stomachs just explode after eating loads of the corn used as chum. I'd recommend using oats as chum instead. Corn on a hair rig is fine, since it's not much and can be passed (pooped) easier.
Where im from in Germany, we love "baked carp" (actually a half of a carp deep fryed and battered). Absolute delicious. The older ones can tast muddy but everything up to 50 cm gives great filet which i suggest to batter with only flour and fried and some soy sauce.

Top bait tip. Use maize instead of corn. Prep it then store it in a bucket until it develops a clear slime. I use a bucket with a lid and can tell when it starts to ferment when the lid domes a bit. This will draw fish like crazy. You can tweak this prep method by using ruby maize to increase the sugar content. Or by adding bait flavours etc.
Wrap the corn in some bread.

@@AyingerSmasher would you say most freshwater fish tend to have pharyngeal teeth, and do you tend to notice if there are trends in families that indicate the presence of them? Seems to be prevalent in marine species but I’m not familiar with freshwater, but I’d assume most that eat hard bodied prey have pharyngeal jaws?
@@kunaiwithchain5278 jaw and mouth structures are (usually) dependent on the diet of the fish. Looking at the order of Cypriniformes (the largest freshwater fish order), all of these fish have some form of pharyngeal teeth and no oral teeth.

Fishologist here, a study was done a while back in which trout were raised on nothing but corn. They grew at the same rate as the control group and had no issues digesting the corn.
Yes it's only the thin outer hull they don't digest which just like with people it passes easily without harm...people just say things without knowing what they're talking about.
it could also have something to do with the type of corn you use,the non-digestable type is sweet corn genetically engineered to the point even the human stomach can't digest it and our stomach is very acidic
@@Aaron-zu3xn humans and fish digest corn. It's only the outer hull that's not digested. The covering of the kernel and that's how all corn is

@William Morgan more like "amateur marine biologist".
I'm fishing for carp with corn for 23 years and the truth is if you don't prepare your corn ahead(boiling) the fish digest it slower,but eventually they will digest it. The canned corn you use has absolutely no problem.
Yep can confirm those are the rules here too. No "dry" corn as that is really slow to digest.
It's probably people using uncooked kernels.
Trout can shit out a snail shell, bass can crap out a crayfish shell, Carp digests anything organic. The people stirred up about corn hurting fish are ignorant. I’ve fished with corn all my life, I’ve had conversations with conservation officers regarding corn. Dry corn floats until soaked, birds more likely to eat that. Fresh corn off cob is the best, sweet corn.

Hello! I'm Brad and i have a degree in fisheries management from Auburn University. Corn feeding is VERY common in a lot of farm raised pond fish, as well as fine grain corn meal for fish prior to a certain size! The majority of the diet of the channel cats that i work with is, infact, corn based with some other things such as shrimp meal and fish meal mixed in for other dietary needs of the fish, usually all mixed together into small chunks or pellets.

Lots of people think baiting for hunting applies to fishing bait. When they say it is illegal to bait animals with corn (or anything else specifically) it usually means feeding deer/bear/etc in piles to get them conditioned to coming to a specific area for a hunter to easily kill one.
Chumming is the exact same thing as baiting for hunting, and it is illegal in almost all states too.
baiting itself is not illegal most places just has to be done on private land or removed like 10 days before a hunt. so you can still condition them
We are legal to hunt over bait for large and small game in ontario Canada,
@@seanvanwallegham2108 Not true, it is actually illegal to bait turkeys to hunt, also illegal to bait migratory birds. (Law says illegal to hunt within 400 meters of where any bait has been placed, for both types). It is illegal in manitoba and alberta (aside from a few exceptions), soon to be illegal in other places as well, especially for deer. Luckily I expect it will be illegal in ontario within 5 years, as it spreads disease and kills animals, lures too many animals into an area that the area cannot handle them.
I mean deer and coyotes, who the he'll would bait migratory birds ? Common sense goes along way also

People hear “doesn’t digest properly” and assume that means poison or something ,it just means your body doesn’t process every part of it so a lot of it might be left over after digestion that doesn’t inherently mean that it’s bad for you.
Seriously, they really think that animals that eat shellfish will be poisoned by a little corn?! Not to mention humans can't fully digest corn either and it hasn't killed us technically.
Humans poop out corn too
It doesn't but the whole idea behind conservation and just keeping our public waters healthy isn't about what "isn't bad". It's about what's good, so sometimes the advice isn't that we are poisoning water but more that we aren't helping. That said, the corn you buy in a grocery store is garbage and I wouldn't feed it to anyone or anything but it's legal in most areas for fish so do whatever works and is okay in local waters.

If you grew up in Iowa, you learn that pretty much everything that's an omnivore can digest corn. Us humans don't exactly do the best job at it, but we still digest it in a sense.
I grew up in iowa and my elementary school literally took us on yearly fishing trips and we would get little paper shot cups filled with corn for the bait. I remember one year a boy in my class got a hook stuck in my scalp on his "backswing" 😅 my teacher was more scared than I was

Where I live, the trout that they stock the lakes with is raised on corn, so it's the perfect bait.
the fact they have to stock the lakes with trout is sad
@@ItsDozzy Well when you have hundreds of people fishing them out every weekend it depletes the population fast. Also some of the shallower lakes in my area freeze solid killing anything that is left every winter. So there wouldn't be anything to fish if they didn't stock them.

You can use corn on the hook everywhere. CHUMMING with corn is illegal in some states. You can easily get around this by making pack bait with corn in it. There are tons of recipes for it on TH-cam. You can also throw it alot farther, and keep the bait in a more concentrated area.

In the UK, Carp or MudPigs as some of us refer to them, are worshipped with an almost cult like enthusiasm. They are pampered and cared for like pedigree race horses or beloved pets.
As such, if anglers bait was likely to harm them, it would be banned in an instant here and yet Corn is an incredibly popular feed and hook bait, so you can take that as good evidence that it's harmless.
How do people view eating Carp in your area?
UK avid carp angler here. Approve of this comment! Never heard them called Mudpigs though personally. In my experience, certain fish are called 'silt pigs' if their mouth is stained black showing they have a tendency to feed in the silt/mud.
Pennsylvania USA here ..we are blessed to have a great population of carp ..they aren't fished much on purpose.
I fish for them often and can corn 🌽 is my #1 bait . Along with Wheaties cereal. Take a handful and dunk it in water and work it in to a putty and use it on a treble hook 🪝😉 then you can keep the smaller fish off the bait. The carp will smash the bait in back of its mouth when it feels the hook it can't spit out the treble..works like a charm.

A lot of carp are not native to the US and were introduced here to eat the excess grass in lakes made for hydro electric dams. They're very invasive and populations have gotten out of control many times. Fish the hell out of them

I had a game warden suggest corn to me in New Braunfels.
One good technique I use for carp is a weightless piece of bread on size 6-7 j hook. Tear or cut off a piece of bread around 2-3 inches in width. Put the hook through the piece of bread twice and wrap it around the hook, leaving the tip sitting just above the bread. squish the bread around the hook, only gently, enough to squeeze most of the air out of the bread but not too much otherwise it won't be able to expand and "fluff out" in the water, which carp love.
Another thing is carp are actually sensitive to the resistance made by the sinker and tight line. Lighter the weight on the line the better, and having some slack in the line helps with creating as little resistance as possible. Carp generally move around when they eat so you will notice the line starting to straighten when they take the bait. This is when you pick the rod up and Either wait for the fish to pull out the slack or wind in a bit of the slack and set the hook. I've caught some monster fish using this technique.

I am a certified bonafide fish biologist with my certification from McDonald's. In my experience, fish aren't able to digest corn because I digest them before they can digest the corn.
As a match (tournament) angler from the uk we use corn a lot for carp and other fish. To the point we use multiple tins in a 5hr match both as feed (chum) and hook baits. Carp can live for multiple decades and seen the same fish come in on the feed in the margins to eat leftover bait and it’s never seemed to have done them any harm whatsoever. Also have a friend who keeps koi as a pastime and he to be fair is quite anal about what he feeds his fish but is quite happy to feed them a tin of washed sweetcorn as a treat.
Fun fact: It's not the corn that we can't digest, it's the kernel skin. When you see corn in your poop, it's really just the skin, but filled with poop.

"Oh no, the fish wont be able to digest the corn in its last few hours of life before getting eaten by the fishermen"
Aside from some herbivores with rumen such as cow, giraffes, etc. It's hard for many animals to digest the cellulose in corn, making it poop out whole. That being said, it's just insoluble fiber and helps with clearing the digestive tract. As long as they're not consuming corn by the buckets, they're fjne
“noooo the corn is gonna hurt the fish!”
the fate of the fish once caught:
Corn should be thrown (welled/swelled?) in water and cooked for 12/25 hours and cooked before using as bait or chum. As do many other grains and nuts. Uncooked corn and grains can kill fish, its hard to digest for them. Common knowledgde and common bait here in europe.
Corn, peas, chickpeas, hempseed, peanuts, pellet feed for hogs, all works well.
Best bait for carp: box of wheaties and some garlic water, mash into ball, completely cover hook with bait. The carp will inhale the entire wheatie ball and then set hook. Grandpa taught me that like 25yrs ago and it still works to this day.

In South Australia corn is a staple bait for carp and as they are an invasive species they can not be return to the water at all in Australia. Another pudding bait I use is white bread mixed with some flour and STRAWBERRY or RASPBERRY jelly crystals mashed into a thick dough and kept moist . Use enough to cover a size 4 to 6 circle hook with a very small weight and bob's your uncle. Carp are good fertilizer buried in the garden.
Carps clean the poluted water. Australia killed the Great Barrier Reef with phosphorus ( sewage and agricultural runoff).
Those corals live there because the area is soo poor in phosphorus due to to the age of the land.
Even a lot of plants in Australia are sensitive to phosphorus, like the Proteaceae wich are poisoned by little phosphorus.
Silver carps that are hated are the only tool to clean phosphorus. They could have saved the reefs of Australia if the fresh water was cleaned by them before being released in the ocean.
USA is 100 years behind europe ecology and Australia is 200 years.
I only fish with corn that comes from my poop. That's true green recycling.
I'm a fish and I can confirm that... mmm corn
Carp are omnivores which makes incredibly good at disgesting carbohydrates like corn. They can also fully utilize the starch it contains.
Of course they do it better when the corn is well boiled/chopped up. If you give it whole and they swallow it so, it can end up unused.
It can also end up unused if the temperature is too low, because fish are cold blooded and can't digest properly when they 're too cold.
It might only be illegal in Rhode Island statewide, but if you go into a state fishing regulation handbook there will be specific locations where it is specifically illegal, or places that are "artificial lure only." Including Utah, whose booklet you apparently read but missed that section.
That carp actually dodged those hooks with high efficiency. They evolving
Whoever said corn is illegal in Texas needs to look again because it definitely is not illegal there.
In Europe Carpfishing is a thing and with a viarity of really specialized methods.
They love theire carps. Anyways corn is digestable by carps. only the shell of corn is being pooped out. Often there is a mix of corn, tiger nuts and hemp seeds used (coocked and fermented for 2 days) to creat food carpets for them on spots they pass by. Then used armoatized hook bait on these carpets to attrackt the fish. Often its used over multiple days with additional feeding the spot so that some people use like 50 kilos on such a trip (some do even use way more) to keep the carp on the spot. I am skeptical about these method because its not sustainable for the health of the waterbody. but yes. it works.

I really appreciate this video because I thought of the same "2 parallel electrons" example when I couldn't quite get magnetism.
My logic was, "If two electrons are in an inertial reference frame, shouldn't the magnetic attraction between them be an objective sensation of their velocity?"

Had owners walking their dogs off leash and the dogs would eat the bait I had out, used anchovies, shrimp heads etc. they really shouldn’t let their dogs loose where people fish, they were lucky no baited hooks were left out to be eaten.
Growing up (in Rhode Island), the reason everyone said it's illegal (ONLY in trout stocked waters) is because they feed trout corn-based bait in the State hatcheries. You can absolutely use corn to catch carp in rivers and ponds that aren't stocked.
Corn will also do you pretty well for trout. For carp, interestingly enough, I was taking chunks of regular white bread and balling them up on the hook and absolutely slaying at a local pond

"Carp are surprisingly good at detecting hooks" Me, remembering the time I caught a carp with just a bungie cord and a twizzler off the side of a boat with my friend and I both leaning over looking at it the whole time
In the UK, some fisheries don’t allow the use of corn because they say that the carp (and other species) dont digest 100% of the corn properly and therefor when whole pieces of corn pass through the digestive system and out the other end, other fish come along and pick up the non digested kernels which have the potential to spread a disease that the original fish may have been carrying. Beside the fact that this kind of makes a lot of sense, corn is an excellent bait.
Why don't they make plastic baits illegal they stop way more fish up than corn.

You can digest corn, just not particularly efficiently... especially poorly if it's uncooked non sweet corn... otherwise we would eat the fucking stuff.
Humans can digest the main part of the corn. What gets left is just a soft hull.
Imagine being concerned about the digestion of a fish thats going to be on a plate in a couple hours
This
Not all the fish that eat your bait end up on the plate. Some aren't large enough to keep.
The reason why we cant digest the outside shells of kernels of corn is because theyre high in cellulose, which is something that the human digestive system cant digest. However, a study called "The gut microbiome and degradation enzyme activity of wild freshwater fishes influenced by their trophic levels" found cellulose digesting bacteria in the gut microbiome of certain herbivorous, omnivorous, and filter feeding fish. However, carnivorous fish had a much lower percentage of cellulose digesting bacteria on average which would likely cause the stories people have heard about corn clogging up the digestive tract of fish.
The one problem Americans could solve by eating their way out but instead they call the invasive fish a trash fish and no one wants to eat it anymore.

For a liter of water into a pot and pour a liter of corn syrup.
Heat the water until the corn syrup is dissolved.
Then throw all of your dough balls in the water.
Proceed cooking until they all float to the top.
Done!!!!
Just like with corn throw some in the area of the water and then put one on a hook and cast it in the pile.
They will eat all the hookless ones and not think twice before biting into your hook on yours as long as they don't hit your hook first.
As someone who owns fish: they can eat corn, but it must be blanched or well cooked. I've seen people use raw corn and the problem is it bloats inside them and then they cannot move it through their digestive track.
Same with other dried particles if not soaked long enough and cooked properly will kill fish tiger nuts are a really good bait but banned in alot of fisheries in the uk because people dont cook them properly and kill fish
Also heard this untrue, from reliable source.
Still, kinda makes sense
Well, in humans the hull of a corn kernel is indigestible as our bodies lack a way of breaking down cellulose molecules quick enough- same reason you can’t eat grass. Carp on the other hand, do have the ability break down cellulose molecules, grass carp for example get this name because they can clear a choked out pond with ease, the reason? Because their body is designed to eat plant matter. That said, the hull of a corn kernel is much easier to break down than that of an aquatic grass stem’s cell wall. I’m no marine biologist, but the physical evidence suggests an overwhelming- DUH.
Considering the percentage of dry weight cellulose in the cell wall of a corn kernel is 28.7% cellulose- the percentage for grass is a bit different considering how diverse the group is, but for both aquatic and terrestrial grass cell walls, 35-45% of the dry weight is cellulose.
Imagine letting the feds tell you how to eat lmao
Used to go freshwater trout fishing. Canned corn was the perfect bait. These were usually state raised stocked fish. Whether the corn looked like a fish egg or the pellets they grew up on didn't matter. Once caught, the skillet solved all digestive issues. You could chum them with corn but fine gravel worked better. Throw the gravel, and the trout all thought it was feeding time back at the hatchery.
Corn isn't harmful to carp, but if you're feeding them too much, it might give them diarrhea. Corn is a common ingredient in fish meals, used to feed carp, catfish, pike, and trout, among other species. It is also added to some commercial diets to boost growth.
Depends. Sweetcorn is going straight through no issue, But maize/feed corn needs to be boiled and then soaked for atleast 24 hours for the carp to digest it proper. same goes for hemp and tigernuts etc
The real reason is not the fish digesting issues. The issue is that when people fish with corn they tend to throw handfuls of corn into the water, this is called chumming. Chumming gives the fisherman an unfair advantage over the fish and CHUMMING is illegal in some states,
About corn and carp,corn is the best bait and sweet corn is the easiest bait to digest if coocked properly wich means if people saw carp with undigested corn its probably only becoz the corn is uncoocked and even then its coocked it doesn affect the fish at all.
I am from the Netherlands and we fish a lot with corn and it is totally safe for carp and other species. However, it is safe to use canned/soft sweetcorn. If you use the hard feeding corn, you need to soak it in water for 24 hours and then cook for like 20-30 minutes. Then its totally fine. But if you use the hard corn, yes you will get trouble. Either I think both makes sence ;-)
Fish can't digest corn however that doesn't mean it hurts the fish. Even humans can barely digest corn, it's not going to hurt the fish.
As an ecologist, many of us think the rule is a little dumb. In certain conditions of trout fishing in other states like South dakota, there are some instances where it's illegal to have any "human food" bait even in your possession. Now nobody will call you on it, but technically you can get fined for something like having a snickers bar in your pocket in those cases. Even if you're clearly only using something like worms as bait.
A lot of people dont properly digest corn. It's a grain, grains are harder to digest for most organisms with a digestive tract.
The only corn that can be a problem is uncooked dried corn as used for bird seed. Canned sweetcorn or dried corn that has been boiled until soft is definitely not a problem and the Carp love it.
Im from the uk theres no problem with actual sweetcorn from the tin or frozen from a bag doesn't hurt fish at all but MAZE corn is alot harder and tougher and will hurt carp if its not prepared properly it needs to be cooked for a long time for it to be safe
They’ve been using sweetcorn or maize(if you want to give it its proper name) for carp fishing, since the sixties, and I know, that it used to be used for catching grey mullet(thick & thin lip varieties) from around the sewage outlets(which is why the mullet got a taste for it) around the coast(Cornwall uk), before they banned raw sewage from being discharged as a norm……..
But, as far as carp are concerned, I think you will find, that they have grinding pads, in their gullets, which are designed to grind up all sorts of vegetable matter, and so, I don’t think that sweetcorn is going to be a problem…….
In Europe carp fishing is massive business niche and it's legal to catch and bait with corn...in 90% time it's corn,tiger nut,hemp and boiles.
Common carp is a native species here in europe and one of our main target fish. In my country its easily the highest farmed fish.Back in the days before high protein pellets it was the main thing to feed farm fish. And even nowdays huge amount of these farms still using corn to feed the stock. On the other hand most predator fish digest bones of other fish, clams ,small mammals and even birds and they dont even look at corn laying on the bottom... ofc its my experience maybe na spieces differ
The problem lies in catch-and-release fishing when using corn as bait, if a fish takes the bait, it may swallow the hook, which can be difficult to remove without causing injury or death to the fish.
I know it’s an old video, but in Europe, there is a large carp fishing community. Corn isn’t a problem for the fish as long it is cooked. There are many people which say, that it isn’t a problem even if it’s raw, but there are votes for both sites. But cooked corn defenetly isn’t harmful for for fish. We have large carps in Germany and French and they eat corn their whole lives whitout problems.
It's actually illegal to fish in any body of water that's more than 3 cubic meter or the size of like 4 medium-large bathtub.
The reason being that not only that there will be a chance that there could be an endangered species (bacteria, fungus, etc) present at that exact spot, but it also related to some kind of Environmental problem that is to lengthy to list all of them here. This law is effective in 52 state in united state and you could be jailed for as long as 30 years in prison or fined for as much $30.000
Last I heard about it from the dfw biologist, it was specifically the issue with trout, and other small panfish that are farm raised and released. Something to do with the feed they use, makes trout eat corn kernels and they can't digest the corn kernel skins.
Fun fact 2:
Fresh corn is good only when water is warm and in small amount.
When it's canned or cooked it's okey no matters what time of year it is. Raw corn can expand in stomach too much destroying fish stomach.
Their stomachs explode from the corn. They cannot digest parts of the corn kernels, which end up sitting in their gut. The fish sometimes stop eating and die from starvation, and sometimes their stomachs just explode after eating loads of the corn used as chum. I'd recommend using oats as chum instead. Corn on a hair rig is fine, since it's not much and can be passed (pooped) easier.
It'd also very easy to add carp flavourants to the oats
Where im from in Germany, we love "baked carp" (actually a half of a carp deep fryed and battered). Absolute delicious. The older ones can tast muddy but everything up to 50 cm gives great filet which i suggest to batter with only flour and fried and some soy sauce.
