Exactly hooking a bluegill the way cat fish Dave does doesn't help. Cutting up a bluegill puts scent in the water attracting the catfish to bite. Looks like he needs to use bigger bluegills on top of it.

Tip for hooking up live bait come back more towards the tail and down further from the spine. If you hook em too close to the spine it doesn't take much for another fish to break em off.

I used to know a commercial fisherman back in the 70’s who would gather up willow flies by the pound under a street light, grind them up and basically make bricks of willow flies. She would then cut them up with 20lb line in pieces as big as a sugar cube and put them on her trot lines and wear the catfish out

Should always hook live bait through the nose holes. Reason why when a predatory fish grabs a bait they eat then head first. So it's always best to have the hook closest to the head area.

Try offsetting your hooks on the live bait. I think with suspending live bait there's already pressure pulling your live bait back out of the fish's mouth and your hook could be turning and laying flat against your bait. Giving the hook nothing to grab when you reel down on fish.
