1st fish a fat 11" hen then followed up with a 2lb. 4oz. stud. I fear the evening bite. I'm almost tied with my fall season five 2lb CNBGs, that took ~4 months to do. Never seen so many 11" fish!
Fishing ~28FOW & 68*F water temp. Wind came up early so I left early.....
Wind will be up for a few days - give me a chance to pour up some more jigs. And give my arm a break.

Man them some monsters. Must be like fighting a gruper on that light tackle. I can see why your arms would be worn out.
Wow that's a whopper
Cray - getting wore out. We got a Green Sunfish hybrid that fight like Snappers. Found them on the dam last year and can't get over there to fish for them. These CNBG are keeping me too busy. Somebody (on this site) gave up a hot Crappie spot I need to go check on too.
What a beauty! All of them are fantastic, but that 12 incher is a sure enough hog.
thnx cc - surprising numbers of them showing up, these are coming from 2 spots, sure there are more
That is absolutely awesome. Congrats!
I hope you know, that me coming to CA and inviting myself to go fishing with you is on my bucket list. LOL
Totally awesome!! Great job!!Quote:

Is there a fertilizer plant near there?[emoji1303]

What makes them attain such large sizes, Sonny? Is it the California weather = long growing season AND the Copper Nose Bluegill naturally attaining larger sizes?? Food sources??
With the lake filling back up and all the new flooded brush those crappie are very happy and I bet there are going to be some giants caught out of Perris soon, gills already seem to be reaping the benefits. Maybe get a 3lb. gill in the future. You are catching some really big fish now.
Once again, fish that make me jealous. The fishing in Tn was very good, better than here in a lot of ways. Even there was pale in comparison to those you show from your neighborhood. Keep it up Sonny, we love seeing them.
thnx for the comments guys
tc - just a lot of birds, lol
Troy it's a combination of the birds (fertilizer), bug hatches, baitfish, warm water all year. There is a fish limit of 25 - think it has paid off. The lake level remained pretty stable for the last 3 years, allowing a lot of successful spawns. I think our CNBG is no longer a pure strain, I think some have some Red Ear genes.....
You wouldn't recognize it now Jim. Areas you fished are ~25' underwater. The east end is like a brand new lake - will be a few years to figure it out. Haven't fished the dam yet. Our weather has gone crazy - seems like we get wind all the time. At least 2 or 3 days a week.....
are whale sighting trips available there is my question ?
LOL
Good one!
thnx Earl
