Day 2 - 1st 12" CNBG for the season @ LP 04 24 19

Very tough day for the numbers but did find some quality - this will probably be the worst day weather wise. Kept some 9s for the boys @ the dock. Got some great info from Prankster might try for some Crappie. Moving back to the east end - see what we can find. Competition with the bass guys is getting ridiculous! Saw 69.8* water. The beasty gurl came out of 24 FOW - had to back up on her.

I know you guys are having a ball!

If I am seeing that correctly that biggest fish is 12 inches long but if girth is measured it looks to be about 15-16? What a PIG

Thnx for the comments guys
Stan - didn't measure girth but her belly was starting to fill with eggs....
Probably 4 more days Redge - Monday looks like 80% chance for rain.

That big girl was hungry, swallowed Sonny's jig. Using length, girth chart for bluegill puts this fish at around 2.5 lbs. These are some huge gills.

Glad you got some great fishing in and caught some monster Gills. What was your impression of the Shimano Soare?

Very mountable bluegill right there... what a Stud!! WTG, Sonny!

I'm headed out in the morning chasing the crackers!!

After the first couple of days using the Soare it was moved to second string backup rod. It didn't have enough muscle to turn the bigger fish and keep them out of the brush. Lost a few big ones and used heavier rod like my Loomis mag lite and CALZANTE EX which is a 7'3" ultralight. Sonny loaned it to me and I fell in love with it, and now it's mine. I got my biggest with it.

Have to agree with Jim. Beautiful light rod - nice action - but didn't have the muscle in the jungle. It is so critical to get the fish turned and going up - 1st instinct of these fish, when they get hooked, is to get into the trees.


Thnx Troy I like the male caught the nest day better.
