Day 5 - BIG fish day @ LP 04 27 19

Perfect CNBG weather, low overcast, very light breeze = six Bluegill @11" or better. We were very fortunate that the boat traffic was minimal for a few hours so we decided to keep trolling the same area that we did the day before. Jim lost 3 very big fish - 2 were on SOS line.... He did manage a new PB - 11 7/8 - heartbreaker, so close to 12. Was having problems with my camera - got the board pic - thought I had one of Jim holding it. We got it on his camera. Kept 20 fish in the 9"range for some friends. Tomorrow is the last day - going to rain Monday. Going to be hard to beat today.

Beautiful fish you catch

Thnx for the comments guys
nl - just lucky everything lines up right for this lake to grow big fish

Just another day at the office Sonny? You guys are having too much fun. Hope Jim gets his 12” before his time runs out.

Awesome fish! Half way down the pics those copper nose have a cool green look to them... I bet they are a blast to catch!

LOL Tim - that's what we were saying.

Thnx VCM - a "REEL" blast!!

I'm still feeling the jet lag from the flight home and didn't get in until 5:30 yesterday morning, four hours later than projected due to severe storms around Las Vegas. Thanks again Sonny, I had a great trip. These fish are so strong, I lost several fish during the week that could have been bigger than my PB. If you didn't get them up right away they buried themselves in brush and broke off. The fish before my PB smoked me, was palming the reel trying to slow it down and get it coming up and toward me but it would have none of that and kicked my rear end until it finally broke off. It fought harder than the 18" bass I caught earlier in the week, never forget that fish. That day was incredible, didn't go five minutes all morning without a hookup, getting them in was another story. Fog hung around all morning which was key on this day and they were still biting when we left, my last fish was 11" that morning. I will get some pictures up in the next couple of days.

Golly, I'm jealous!!!! Super trip for you guys!! I would love to bring my family out there and fish those lakes.

Glad to hear all the details as it played out guys, you took us all along with you. I look forward to my shot at them one day, I won’t be able to sleep when the chance comes.

Thnx again guys
I know it was a lot for 6 days in a row. Longest day was 6 hours of fishing and it was busy the whole time.
I admire your commitment to family Tim - when the time is right we will hook it up.

Attachment 341395 Picture of me with my new PB gill. Haven't posted in a long time so hope it goes through. Thanks again Sonny for putting me on some big fish.

Fishing for gills is good for the heart. I exercise every day and have my fitbit on all the time. I checked my heart rate after my PB and it was 118, in the cardio range. Sonny thought I might have a heart attack until I said it's in the good range. It was up all morning.

Beautiful fish Jim - thought I was going to have to call 911 - LOL. That was a great day for some big Coppernose. I'm sure next year there will be a few CNBGs over 13". Thnx for the release.

Had to bring this thread back. It's from my last trip fishing at Perris with Sonny. It was a great trip. I'd love to get out there again one day.

Wow! :yikes

I do hope that Sonny is well. :pray

Absolute Monsters! Thanks for the revival of the post Jim. I’m smiling big right now.

I have often went down the path of going through the old threads. There is so much information to be garnered from them. Stuff you wouldn't, ( or at least I wouldn't) think of for many, many years if ever...Thank you for the ride down memory lane my friend.

KABOOM

What a memorable trip! Massive gills!
