[Erin and Brendon groan] [Brendon] Oh my goodness gracious...
Eugghh!!
Dripping...
There we go
Let's see it.
Hey, guys
we got some pretty strange bait from the Korean market
the other day, um, I was very surprised to find
canned silk worms
in the Korean market
I guess people eat these?
Yeah, they definitely eat them
Who's tried this before?
Comment below, but today we're going to see if we can catch some bait on it
these were about a couple dollars a pop
and it seems like it comes with a lot of silk worms in here
I have no idea if this is going to work, today we're testing out to see if this Korean supermarket bait will work
[Erin and brendon groaning]
[Brendon] Goodness gracious...
Good ness gracious.
[exhaling]
Someone come here and smell it
Does it smell okay? [Danny Boy] It actually doesn't smell that bad
[Brendon] Alex.
[Danny Boy] It doesn't smell that bad
[Brendon] What are you talking about?!
[Danny Boy] You ain't Korean.
[Alex] We're Korean...
[Brendon] Stephen, come here and try, maybe it's because you guys are half Korean you don't smell it
That has nothing to do with it
[Andrew] That's racist! [Brendon] Smell bad?
It's just me? Okay.
Alright, let's pour some of this juice out
Those look weird.
Those look really weird
Alright guys, put'em on! Put'em on!
Put'em on your hook!
Get your hooks ready
we got fresh bait!
Fresh canned bait!
Let me see someone's hook
Here you go.
[Danny Boy] It looks so gross...
That's what I'm going to have to say too! [laughing]
Alright, so this is how we're going to hook it, we're just going to hook it
you might not even want to use the whole worm
[Andrew] Honestly, is it too big?
[Brendon] Yeah, so try cutting that in half
try using half a worm
Eughh!
Dripping...
There we go.
These are kind of gross
Let's try it out
Nice. [Stephen] Geteeeeem
silk worm, yeah.
Dang, that's a smallmouth!
That's a smallmouth
and it took the larvae that was on the
on the rooster, I caught a smallmouth bass
Niiice.
Wooh!
That's a big one!
[laughing]
It took the silk worm
in one bite, just started swimming off
check it out
That was a nice one.
and I see 'em swimming around over there
Oh, nice one.
Okay, they definitely like this bait
You see that? It's still in its mouth
So how do these silk worms work?
[Alex] They work well, but they just keep on coming off too easily
[Brendon] That's right, I feel the same way
they work really well
they pretty much all get eaten
but they get off within like
one or two bites
and it's gone and you have to rebait it and these things kind of stank
and I don't like rebaiting it
all in all, I don't know if I'd use it again
so let's see
[Andrew] Five, four, three, two--oh
[Brendon] Nice count down, Andrew
This is a sunfish
It's a small one
but you see how the bait's gone immediately?
I'm about to switch bait
Okay, so consensus, this does work
Right? We all caught a fish on the silkworm
Can we all agree? Stephen, you caught one too, right?
I'm just going to cut a little sliver like that
'Kay? and this is something I learned from bass fishing
It's called wacky rigging
and you would do this with a soft plastic senko
but I'm going to do it with, uh,
the super salty squid
and a wacky rig
you hook it right through the middle
just like this
you see that?
and when you hook it like this
when it floats down
it'll look like a dying baitfish
hopefully I'll catch something bigger on this
and I'm using this because
the other bait just keeps coming off
and I don--oh, wow, that's a big one right there
Woah!
Woa--hoah!!
Daaang!
look at that!
Alright, guy, see ya
Ha ha ha, awesome.
So many of them
I might put a bigger piece of bait on
maybe this is just too small
Who knows how to cast a rod?
Give it a cast under there and wait, try it out
[Brendon] Don't ever set a reel in the sand...
[Erin] Nice.
nice, that's a big fat one
[Brendon] Woah, dude! [Stephen] Oh that's huge
[Brendon] Eww! Look at the side of it!
[Alex] Oh... [Stephen] Diseased?
[Alex] I don't want to touch it.
[Brendon] I don't want to touch it either,
but you've got to get that back in the water
[Brendon] Ha, did you see that? [Alex] Yeah...
Alright, here's my conclusion with the silk worm
it works but it keeps coming off like pretty much every bite
so I don't really like it too much
wouldn't get it again
if you guys like the episode
I ask you guys to subscribe and push that little notification bell
we publish four episodes every week and you wouldn't want to miss any of that
if you wanted to experiment with the super salty squid
uh again, you saw how it worked, it worked pretty well here in the fresh water
I just recently started trying to use it in fresh water uh, fishing it like a senko
or fishing it like a swimbait,
or just plain putting it on a hook and letting it sit
it's been working every single way
I would much rather use that because ti stays on the hook

Alright, who's eating one? Who lost?
[All] Daniel.
[Brendon] Come on, man! It's not that bad!
Look a'dis
[Stephen] Like, just lick it, that's it
[Brendon] Pretty good!
Danny, come here
A little lick
[Danny whines]
[Brendon] Come 'ere.

[Alex] Yeah, he lost [Brendon] You lost fair and square, come on
[Danny whines]
[Brendon] Ahh
Open your mouth a little bit
[Danny] No...
[Brendon] Okay, okay touch it with your tongue.
[Alex laughs] [Brendon] Okay. [Erin] Ew...
[Danny retches]
[Brendon] It's not that bad, Danny! Come on!
[Alex] It's not that bad
[Brendon] It tastes like soy sauce!
Here, put another one on
[Alex] It can't be that bad
[Erin] He did not like it
[Brendon] It got eaten already?
[Alex] I'll eat one for $5
[Brendon] Okay. [Alex] Okay.
[Brendon] What are you about to eat?
[Erin] A bug
[Brendon] A Korean silk worm
Let's see it
[Erin] Oh!
[Alex] Tastes bad... [Brendon] You can spit it out
Did you swallow it--? Eughh!! Ha ha ha!
[Alex burps, sighs]
[Brendon] Alright, I owe him $5
I owe him 5 bucks even...
