Day 3 - another 12" CNBG + some 11s @ LP 04 25 19

I started the day with back to back 11s while Jim kept busy with keeping the smaller fish away, lol. Managed a big 12" stud to match the big gurl from yesterday. Jim had enough and picked up his new PB 11" and some more nice 10s. Completely changed the area we were fishing - thinking we stumbled on where the big fish spawn.... Gonna find out tomorrow.
Tim - the rainbow Willow blade blade is kicking butt.

We started with a double - mine is the bottom fish;

An 11 would be a PB for most people around here. Congratulations on another great day of California Fishin!!!

Sonny is on the Pigs!! The bluegill in the 6th picture from the bottom, must weigh 2-2.5lbs!!??

Just unbelievable you guys! Congrats Jim! Rainbow Willow blade? Fish still at 24 feet?

thnx guys
we can't either Matt
Very close Troy - probably 2.5lb
It's a decal bait job PB - 21 to 26 FOW

You guys are making me smile very big. Lots of work lately and a rod build going on too. I can always count on you guys to be holding down the fort. Good Job Guys!! Some excellent fish.

Just awesome!

thnx guys - appreciate the comments

That stud male gill is one incredible fish, I think I was shaking from excitement more than Sonny. Using length and girth measurements, the big male gill could actually be really close to 2.75 lbs. These fish are really thick, even the 11's had a girth of 13-14 inches.

All I can say is WOW! Glad you guys had a good time.

Awesome catch .

Thnx guys
Going to have to start measuring girth as well Jim. Pretty sure that fish was at least 2.5lb. That fish could make 3lbs by the end of the year. Lake Perris panfish are FAT.

Love the pic of that gill fighting. You really get the sense of him being a bull gill!!! Love it.

f_a - it's like fighting miniature Tuna on steroids

Sonny....please consider doing a few videos of catching these incredible bluegill. It would be wonderful if we could somehow live it , too!!

Been thinking about this. Need to look into getting a newer go-pro, or something similar, and editing software. Can you upload mpg files to this site - or do you have to put them on you tube?

To upload videos on this site, I'm sure they have to be uploaded through YouTube first. Make it happen, Sonny!!

Yeah you got to go through YouTube. You can upload directly to the facebook groups you’re on though.

Videos are always welcome, but please keep in mind what I posted in another thread:

If somebody says a naughty word in a post, I can delete the word and leave the rest of the post. I can't do that with a video. My only option is to delete the video, and I don't like doing that. I've had to delete several videos in the last few months because of bad language. In each case, the video was posted by a new member who was not aware of the site's language rules.

Also, I would prefer that videos be embedded. If you don't know how to do that, I would be happy to embed the video for you.

those sure are ridiculous large bluegill and that red ear aint a lil either ….very nice
man would i love to go find the crappie in that lake , i bet they are stupid large fish …...mmmm

WOW is all this BG loving fish dude can say. Can't imagine the fight on light tackle those monsters give you. Those are so darned THICK! Wow just wow is all I can say.

Will be in Santa Clarita area first of August, have an open seat then? LOL.

Ketchn - we got some big Crappie in this lake, my PB is 17" - friend of mine got a 21", and those were by accident. Very few people here target Crappie. There is a rumor going around that they shocked a bunch of the Crappie out of Vail Lake (closed to the public) and put them in Lake Perris.

hh - The weather is hot in August but fishing is still good. Should be able to work something out.
