Hello gentlemen, finally a few pics.

I have been a member for several years but hate computers and such but since downloading tapatalk pics aren't such a pain. Here's a few from one of my honey holes this spring and summer.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c6d6f99d05.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...225c010d45.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...8b0bfa66a3.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...9995a364a2.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...4f59045023.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...cd18e076cf.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...fd19cd2d24.jpg

Not as big as spring gills but summer gills are fun and harder to find so I'm just happy to still be on fish.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...d066aadebe.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...bafb79d182.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...d38c7f3e4d.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...a88ed3658a.jpg

Always a bonus fish or two.

Mr. Reliable, tied on a 1/64oz button head jig I pour on a #8 sickle hook and tie with mallard drake butt feathers. Redears, redbreasts, bluegills are my favorite fish.

Hope y'all enjoy

Thats a rod and reel I would be proud to own. Would you tell us the details of what they are?

The rod is a 2pc 7' light action B&M Sam Heaton super sensitive jigging rod. I use it for float fishing only. The reel is a Pflueger President Limited. I spool it up with 4lb p line cx and a 6' leader of 6lb silver thread an40 green line. The 4 casts better and the 6 gives me better abrasion for fishing around rocks and brush. I tie them together with a blood knot, back to back uni knot or surgeons knot, since your into particulars. 😆 The rod has a great action and is kinda parabolic or moderate action but the reel seat and guides aren't the best. The reel is really top notch though.

Nice sun fish. You should post more often. Thanks for sharing.

Nice year , congrats .

Those are awesome photos. You are indeed blessed to only be one minute from the boat ramp. Enjoy all of your time on the water. I know many people, including me, who would love to be in your shoes my friend.

Great pictures and post. I have a couple of those SHSS rods in 7' and 9'. Great rods for the purpose.

Ship, thank you. I am blessed indeed, I'm broke as a welfare recipient on the last day of the month but I have good fishing in all directions of my house. That particular ramp is about 35 minutes away.

Crestline, yes they are. If B&M would use better components on their rods they would be pretty dogone nice. A good Fuji reel seat and nice high frame light weight guides would transform them.

Nice looking fish. Love catching them redear.

beautiful fish brother .......very nice

Very nice indeed :ThumbsUp

Those are some nice photos of some fine eating fish. How do you post pictures with tapatalk. Thanks for sharing

Click on the paper clip or the symbol that looks like mountains. And it will attach the pic to your post. So easy a caveman could do it, I know because I am indeed a caveman.

Nice Gills, thanks for posting!

Enjoyed the pictures of the fish, the equipment you used and a picture of the bait you were using. I can see you are excited to share your enjoyment of the sport of fishing Keep those trips coming. ENJOYED!!!

Scoot, thank you. I do enjoy panfishing more than just about anything. I however enjoy spending time with like minded individuals while after big sunnies. The fellowship is as good as the fishing if the people you are fishing with share a passion for the same things.

For the last 15 years or so I have fished the rivers for smallmouth and rivers, creeks, lakes and ponds in search of big sunfish. People thought I was crazy because I am so addicted to fishing for gills. But I met a guy at my new job about 8 months ago and he is the same way. He turkey hunts and shoots crows as well. It's like he's my lost twin brother, we dig all the same things.

I love fishing for sunnies and I will try my best to post more of my trips. I went to a river I had never fished last Saturday and got into some good sized redbreast sunfish. Beautiful fish!

Those big redear are show stealers. I've caught some at KY Lake and Barkley that you find yourself peeking in the live well every 20 minutes to admire them.

Nice fish!!

Redearhoosier, I know what you mean. 13" is my best so far but I have a friend that caught one 15". I love them things.
