Anyone ever tried to bass fish w/live crawfish?

Always wanted to do this.
Seems like to a man who's fishing, say Black Lake (Campti/Natchitoches area - we used to have a camp there growing up), who normally just kind of jig fishes/worm fishes by trolling big tree to big tree, and flipping a jig/worm at the base of the tree should clean the frick up if he replaced said worm/jig with a BIG live crawfish.
Anyone ever done this? Results?

Only in run outs. I've seen guys doing in on TB out on ridges. No idea if more effective.

They make some very realistic lures. Im sure they are a lot easier to fool with than a live one

We have a small private pond and when the bass are on beds, they will take nothing artificial. If you drop a live crawfish in there, they will attack it immediately. This is the only experience I have with them.

I've did it in my pond during the summer with small to medium sized crawfish. I hook them somewhere that they will stay good and alive, but stay on the hook good. I'd throw it out and if I didn't get a bite with in 2 minutes I would jerk the hell out of it just like you would a popping cork for specs, but I would use a regular cork. I would absolutely wear the bass out for a couple month time period, then after a while it pretty much shut down. I found that the bigger crawfish didn't work as well unless I'd break the claws off of them.

I was always told that bass will swallow them too quickly and get severely deep hooked. No throwbacks.

When bass are bedding this is like throwing awesomeness on a hook into the water.

They catch the hell out of some white bass.

Do it on creeks all the time. Turn over rocks grab a few crawfish. Smallies love em

We used to use them fishing in the lake in the summer for Largemouth when the fishing got slow and had good results with them. One of the keys is to keep them moving after you cast as they tend to crawl and get lodged under rocks and debris.

Not much luck w bass but the really small ones are killer chinquapin and white bass bait. Have caught some nice white perch on them too.
I've done this on north la bayous and in the bayou pigeon area in the basin. All this occurred in the. 80s and 90s, don't know if the fishing is good in either place now
We would take a dip net in ditches and fill up a minnow bucket w abunch of really small crawfish 1-3 inches long
