A live bait-dispensing container comprising:a) a housing for at least partially surrounding and retaining the live bait within said housing in a fluid, said housing having a bottom, a side wall, and a top at least partially enclosing the bait when the bait is retained therein; b) a low-profile exit nozzle interconnected to said housing, said low-profile nozzle having a flow passageway extending in a lateral direction in close proximity to said housing to provide said live bait dispensing container with an overall low profile configuration; c) a flow-inducement chamber interconnected with said exit nozzle and said housing, said flow-inducement chamber including at least one primary flow passage interconnected between a portion of said nozzle and said housing, said at least one primary flow passage extends transverse to an axis of said portion of the nozzle, and at least one secondary flow passage interconnected between said flow-inducement chamber and said housing to cause fluid within said housing to produce a stream of fluid through said nozzle, when said container is tipped, which will bear the live bait out of said housing into said nozzle when the live bait is retained in the container, the fluid of the stream returning from said nozzle to said housing by way of said at least one primary flow passage and said at least one secondary flow passage.
