Thread: Big fish day @ LP 04 05 19

Havasu for the redear, Perris for the giant gills. Either way you can't go wrong. Haven't seen many pics of redear from Perris yet. Where are they? You do need to get another green board. You get a better idea on the girth as well as the length with that.

Thinking about the board Jim...…. Redear should be up in the shallows with the Bass - hard to get away from the CNBG to go look.

Nice fish.

Awesome fish , thanks for sharing .

Amazing. Can't imagine having to haul those fish up from 20+ fow. I bet they feel like boat anchors. Great reports & pictures. Thanks for taking the time

Thnx for the comments guys. Need to make films like Randy - my language is too bad - too many bleeps...

Sonny, I have a go pro that I bought a couple years ago that I still haven't gotten around to using. I need to put some time in with it and learn how to use it. I will then pack it away for my trip there. Those gills need to be filmed in action. I caught some 8-9 inchers a couple days ago and a few I couldn't stop and ran me into brush piles. The 11-12 inchers you catch look very intimidating to me right now, especially around trees. Don't know how you manage to get them out once they wrap you up with 2lb. lines. That's quite a feat.

JJJ - lot of the success comes from getting the CNBGs head turned up. If they go down it's going to be even more difficult. I back down, with minimum pressure on the fish. Sometimes the fish will swim out on it's own. Without a boat or a float tube - over 50% of the fish couldn't be landed. Branches are breaking with the old flooded trees - the new flooded trees are still green and jig hungry.
