Strike King Bitsy Minnow VS Gulp Alive Minnow - Fishing With Minnows!

- Today I am fishing the Strike King Bitsy Minnow vs the Gulp Alive Minnow. Fishing with minnows can be fun and rewarding, when you choose the right minnow. Hearing of other fishermen's success on the Bitsy Minnow, I just had to try it. Well, I didn't even catch one fish! After switching to my confidence bait, the Gulp Minnow, I started catching fish. As a matter of fact I caught one on the first cast using the Gulp. I am sure the small crankbait has its time and place but it wasn't today at this lake. Bitsy Minnow vs Gulp alive? Gulp Minnow is the clear winner today! #fishing

👍🏻😎🍻 I like the fact that you don't try to influence anybody. You tell it how it is, good or bad. That's keeping it realistic. ✌🏻
Coffee and Realistic Fishing, love fishing for bluegill since I saw the first video with gulp minnows! Thanks Alex
I love the plop the fish make when they go back in.
Me too! Big deep plunk!
Love your try so many different lures. Most of us keep using the same 3 or 4 that we have the most confidence in. 👍💕🎣👵
I have my favorites, but the bitsy isn't one of them
Daaanng, that one bluegill was an absolute unit. Well done.
Awesome video 📹 👏 that intro was epic!!
It was!
For sure 👍 💯
I love your enthusiasm over the bull gills!
Great video!!! Keep em coming! 🔥🎣
🥈 Thanks!
I learned about Gulp Minnows from you a couple of years ago. They have been my "go to" bait when I can't catch anything. I can always catch something on them. Keep it Realistic!
Love the indie wrestling support!
🥉 Proud to be a part of the show!
Puts a smile on my face to see you kicking some ass
Ass = Kicked!
I have a few of those bitsy minnows they're great for moving water - creeks, shallow rivers, the base of water falls, culverts/drains/spillways - places where bait fish might be swept away in a current and easily ambushed. Not so much pressured lakes or ponds unless you're just after sundown or just before sun rise. I'm liking the small lure vibe this channel's developed lately. tight lines, man!
I tried by the drain... no luck
You might want to check out my tiny lure vids from 2 & 3 years 👍ago
100%, i've had the same experience with the bitsy
Thanks for the video great as always 👍
Thanks for watching Mark
I've had really good luck on the bitsy minnow, though I use it at the creek in deeper water. I've had the most success just straight reeling it in, it tends to drive a little deeper that way.
Thanks for keeping it real Alex!
Great video Alex. I am hooked on gulp minnows because of you! In my opinion crankbaits are a waste of time and money. I have never had much luck on them. Just a fish here and there. KIR!
The Gulp Minnows are just unbeatable when it comes to catching numbers. I've even used the big 4" ones and caught some real nice bass and pike.
Nice!
Another great video , Alex thank you so very much
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Nice catch, keep it realistic!!!
KIR!
Beautiful gills. Nice little lake also. Great video Alex.
"Its looking like a train wreck but its still on there" the words of a gulp minnow fisherman for sure.
Great video buddy 👍🏽
👍👍
You always make bluegill fishing interesting. Thanks for the vids.
Your fishing trips are always in amazing places, so your fishing gear is good and you catch a lot of big fish.👍🎣😊
Thanks for watching Suellen
@@RealisticFishing I like the chartreuse with black back Bitsy Minnow for dirty stocker trout
That's quite an introduction!
Thats because I am the shit! 😎
Thanks for videos
Thanks for watching Alex 👍
Had a realistic session today, almost caught a giant fish today here in the Jersey shore. Not sure if it was a flounder or bluefish but it pulled hard. Unfortunate it got off and stole the bait lol. Still caught my first Black Sea bass and tautog, that’s realistic. Keep it realistic
The intro is awesome!!!
GULP MINNOWS my favorite fishing lure:) nice fishing video. 👍😎👍🍿
Gulp for the win!
Jumbos there Alex!
Love your vids
Great video. I love catching jumbos in the fall. KIR 👊
Good stuff
👍 Haven't seen you for a while!
@@RealisticFishing sorry man I’ve been super busy growing my own channel I haven’t been watching any videos lately. Notifications are on so I’ll be watching for your new posts
Intro is awesome, and those fish would have made yummy sammiches! 🤘🤘
Yes they would
Sup. That bitsy minnow has too many issues!! Everyone should have gulp baits in their tackle!! That's realistic fishing🤘
I agree. Hooks tangle, tiny amount of gunk and it cant swim at all. It might have its place though
@@RealisticFishing thought maybe a sand bank or rock pile? Just hate when hooks catch themselves lol. Maybe 1/2" longer?
Those Gulp Alive Minnows seem to work pretty good. That was a nice bluegill
Awesome vid man you’re killing the vids lately. Can I also say that I caught my new PB Bass yesterday in a farm pond using a Mr. Crappie plastic. Keep up the great vids man
Nice!
Great video 👍
Thanks 👍
Gulp Minnow strikes again. You've caught a lot of fish with that bait. Thanks for the video. KiR!!!
I really need to get myself a jar of those. I know I can't find them at any store near me.
Maybe the interwebs 👍
There is something to be said about confidence baits. I always carry Senkos and Zman TRD’s since they never let me down.
Nice fish the gulp minnows or gulp cricket are always my go to
Very nice fish👍
👍👍
We have some lakes with bluegills like that here in SE Wisconsin. None of them can be caught from shore though. Right now we're getting them on the bottom in 42-48 feet deep. PIA, but they are pretty nice fish. Gotta keep every one cuz they are basically dead from the pressure change. Seems like you have access to some really nice shorelines. Ours are all sowed up by land owners. Wish we had more shore access.
Nicely done man yep my friend swears by the gulps have a good one
Another decent day. Nice. KIR
KIR! 👍
Gulp minnows are clutch. They are what i go to when nothing else is working
I went fishing today for catfish and bluegill and didn't catch a thing. Thanks for sharing your video!
Sounds realistic to me
I usually have a jar of gulp minnows on me when I’m using spinning gear. It’s sort of my last resort bait lol
One of my favs!
Gulp for the win. Thumbs up.
I have like 8 of the Bitsy Minnow still unopen....Theyll probably like 8-10yo..Love your channel to new subscriber...
I have a lot of faith in the Bitsy Minnow, but man, sometimes that Gulp Minnow seems unbeatable. Nice healthy bluegills!
Man that's nuts, I catch pretty good with the bitzy. Even caught some walleye with it.
I cant even get a bite. Must be a lake by lake kinda thing
@@RealisticFishing Yeah probably, it's one of my confidence baits. If I'm not getting bites I'll switch to the micro setup and the bitzy or a tiny spinner will be the first thing I throw. Gulp does great too though 👍🏻
Both great baits! Sorry to see you not get any catches on the Bitsy but the Gulp Minnows are always there for a solid backup.
I will have to try the Bitsy again in different circumstances
Gulp Alive Minnow for the win!!!
I love micro square bill crank baits but you have to fish them slow... I did recently buy some GULP minnows because of you. I'm hoping to try them soon. Great video and some fat bluegills!
I am glad you love them. If I fish it any slower it will catch even more goop off the bottom. I am sure they have a place, but it aint on this lake, at this time.
Weird how that works, I slay them on the bitsy minnow. My brother kills them on spinnerbaits and I don't catch shit on them
Strange indeed
Been a slow slow couple weeks for me, time to pull out the gulp, it never fails me.
I kill with those little crank baits just gotta find the right one for your spots brother! Love the channel and keep em coming.
I just bought gulp minnows bc you always do so well with em! You destroyed those bluegill ...
Pan fish are always fun.
Never had luck on the bitsy. Seen a guy catch a little bass on one before but I fished with it a bunch and never got anything
Nice bluegill on the standby bait
Realistic
Love your videos. Try using the Strike King bitsy minnow for white bass. They love that thing. I have used it when I lived in Clarksville, TN fishing the Cumberland along the rip rap.
I tried one of those bitsy minnows. Couldn't keep the hooks separated.
Same here, I just had to mention it
I carry a fishing tackle bag but I usually leave it at the truck unless I'm going kinda far away. But It has a shoulder strap so I can hands free it.
I seen a spider luer at Walmart last time I was in. Almost got it but it was like 15 bucks. Looked neat tho.
That makes you a fake fisherman. 😂
I love this bait when nothing else work I go to this lure
Which one?
Sorry the bitsy minnow at my lake it works best being thrown in the shallows with cover around Lilly pads trees etc
Ever tried a gulp minnow there?
No I’m in ga the stores around me it’s hard to findgulp minnows
some nice looking bluegills
I've had great luck using those in clear water.
Alex: You should do a Strike King Bitsy lure challenge. Bitsy Splash, Dawg, Minnow, Shad, and Jerkbait. To win you've got to catch at least 3 fish per lure. No particular species. How about it? That'd be pretty realistic.
Once again… Gulp Minnows produce.
Nice haul, brother
As always, Alex, great video! With the success that you had last year with night crawlers hammering bluegill , would you be up for a “night crawler vs. Gulp Minnow shootout”? KIR, buddy!
Nightcrawler would win if I used small pieces... unless you are talking about gulp nightcrawler
@@RealisticFishing yeah, it’s tough to beat live, but Gulp v. Gulp would be good 👍. You seem pretty solid with each of those baits!
The little baits like that seem to be tricky, the only time I caught fish on them were in the creeks, a few small bass, bluegill, sunfish and creek chubs
looks like you can never go wrong with the Gulp Minnow.
The great gulp minnow bait
the bitsy minnow will always be my go to for ultralight crappie fishing, its not great in grassy ponds. its best in rocky streams and running it by bridge pilings. crappie love em. the hooks need to be changed but thats true on most crankbaits. i prefer a solid white bitsy or the brown craw pattern. the "shad" has not been a good color on the bitsy. also solid black.
another bitsy fan, way to stand up for your lure
Got to get the Tennessee shad color
What size hook did you use with the Gulp minnow?
Man I caught a bunch of blue gill as bait the other day and a few of them had a pink color to them
Nice assortment of chunky gills!!
Fun gills for sure
What type/power of rod are you using?
I have a pretty decent supply of those Bitsy Minnows, snagged a bunch while they were on sale. Was so happy. My joy got snagged somewhere between the hooks that were always stuck together -_-
Hard to beat the minnow.
Yup gulp alive always produce! Keep it realistic!
I can’t catch anything with these minnows :(
Have you tried a bfs set up really good fun I always used a spinning reel until this year now I'm in love with the baitcaster. All the best 👍
I dont feel like spending $100 to catch bluegill
@@RealisticFishing I can understand that all the best 👍
That is my go to bait!
Which one?
@@RealisticFishing Strike King Bitsy Minnow. I have caught blue gill, red ear, crappie, rainbow &brown trout, and 3-4 lb bass with it.
Cool, I havent caught anything on them in the 5 year span of my show. Strange
@@RealisticFishing we all have our own styles of fishing I guess. I didn't have any luck with a Texas Rig until I started watch your show.
When I fish the bitsy I use a straight retrieve (no twitching or jerking the bait) and maybe vary the speed each cast, who knows why that works for me.
👍
Try putting a 3” or 4” gulp minnow on a spinner bait or chatter bait. It really works good for me because the flash vibration and scent. Awesome bluegill btw.
It is driving me crazy, please tell me, what is the metal box on top of the tall dock? For what is it used?
Its a fish and duck feeder for the winter
One of the best lures on the market, green tomatoe, and ghost are the best colors, yes the hooks on some hang rack other, strike king has to fix this, other problems with this lure is it sometimes doesn’t run straight on the retrieve, you can adjust the lure with instructions on the package, once to get it tuned it is an amazing lure, I fish it nearly every day and catch unbelievable amount and size fish of all species, trout and bass love it like no other lure
Are you using a straight hook or a jig head
Straight hook
Entering the ring realistic wrestler undefeated Fisher undisputed catcher Mr gulp minnow his self. Realistic fishing .
I have a bunch of luck on the Bitsy Minnow but Chili Craw color. I catch bass, bream and crappie. I bet if you used it in the creeks you would have great luck!
Gulp minnow is money. I use a weighted hook instead. Nice video!
What is that platform standing out of the water where you caught the Bluegill's?
that feeds the fish and ducks through the winter
@@RealisticFishing That's what I was thinking. 😎
The old reliable glup minnow. I have bass, crappie, blue gill and catfish on the gulp minnow.
My goodness I wish I knew of a place I could catch bluegills like those you caught. They were some monsters.
Big bluegill are so much fun!
I am a fairly newcomer to bass fishing. I have a question. How many big bass (4-5 lbs) can live in a 4 acre pond? I have caught three and am wondering if I am catching the same fish over and over. By the way, love your channel.
Giant Bluegill!
I love those big bluegill!
Try cutting a Bluegill fillet into strips. Works! & A lot Cheaper than Gulp Minnows 👌
