PIGS ! Gillchaser

Total pigs! Thanks for sharing Sonny!!

Dangit Sonny. Thems some pigs.

thnx guys

like to run into these guys & gals next year.........

Those are some incredible fish. I'd love to tie into one of those.

Those are tremendous gills.

Man those are brutes, we are very lucky to have this kind of fishery right in out back yards.

Thnx again guys

p13 - we are very fortunate, especially this season. Next year is going to be interesting....

Those are some monster gills! Very purdy fish!

The water is already rising and getting cooler each time I go. The gills are still in that channel but much harder to catch on just straight lures with no bait on them. It is going to be very interesting when all that brush is submerged and higher water levels after over 10 years of being down. After looking at your top fish it makes me even more excited for 2018 season to begin. Looking forward to seeing you out there again.

Living the dream for sure!

Whoppers they are.

Thnx for the comments guys. We are very fortunate for the quality of the fish out here.

Jackie53 - blade baits have been really working out here this season on the BGS and REs. Don't know why we don't catch more Crappie........

Hope to be back out next week Mike. Fishing a rising lake should be fun...

I am still jealous Sonny..lol..coming to a town near you, soon. Merry Christmas!!!

Man, that is unreal. I wish we had them here. Thanks for your many posts.

Very nice fish! You guys have a great looking fishery!

Wow, thanks for the recap! Those are some hogs. You are a blessed man.

Thanks for releasing quality fish. I wish more people would follow your example.

Next year is going to be a different ballgame, Jim, with the new water level.
The weather is really warm right now - still have figs on one of my trees!
You have to let trophies go to get bigger trophies DBD. Besides, IMO, these fish do not make good table fare.
Not near as good as 8" or 9" cold water BGs.....

We have some cold water gills here right now, just not quality of Perris. Air temp is 11 with a wind chill of -2. Fish might be harder to find with more water but maybe help them get even bigger with the extra room.

I had to turn on the air conditioner today....

There is a bunch of structure (piles of cement blocks, tree stumps, huge tires...) and they dug a deep pool in the new area. Finally someone at state level listen Anglers! Hoping it will stabilize in less then 3 years. They might close the Marina - that will not be good.
