Fishing for TWO POUND PLUS BLUEGILLS!

when it comes to hunting and fishing a lot of people who love to hunt their fish they have a happy place place they can go in their mind to escape kind of get away from it all a place where they can kind of relax even if it's just for a few seconds in their mind for instance there's this one bridge in South Dakota where I cut a bunch of smallmouth from I cut my personal best smallmouth from there I go there in my mind all the time this is the place I turkey hunting with my dad in Nebraska that means the world to me I'm having a bad day that's what I think about but the crazy thing is there's one happy place that I have that I haven't even been there yet but I think about going to this place all the time because it seems like such a cool place the place I'm talking about is Richmond mill lake in North Carolina where spend mill ache is a hundred twenty acres of some of the most well managed waters I'm gonna say in United States but in all honesty probably some of the most well managed waters in the world there's bats in there that can reach a cup there's been a couple double digits caught which is a huge bass for North Carolina but I don't want to go there to catch bass I literally in five not catching one bass the reason I'm going there is for the copper nose blue teal there is bluegill in there that are insanely massive I'm talking bluegill that are that thick a 10 or 11 inch bluegill it's kind of an average fish for that place which is crazy to think about you can yeah I'll bet I bet I catch a two pound blue game y'all will see me lose my mind if I can catch a legitimate 12 inch or better bluegill oh my gosh I'm stoked this is my personal best bluegill species that's a hybrid between a pure bluegill and a green sunfish and that's 12 inches long but I want to catch a pure bluegill this size are bigger that's my goal get something better than we were a senior here y'all stay tuned I am super super stoked like I said I will freak out if I catch a huge bluegill I'm warning you right now be prepared for that thank you for watching stay tuned I know it's hard to see me but I haven't finally made it 5:45 in the morning fishing Kingfisher Society Richmond a little late I have no idea how to run this poem motor messing up riding left fish start the day off with this little yes yes on offer look at that size of that Luke that's why man that is wild yeah Oh down there yes that's a bluegill - yep that's a big bluegill I got my life stuck in the tree and my baits in the waters there yes dad yes oh my gosh and I got it and I got it oh my gosh I can't believe it work it's a giant it's a giant bluegill oh my gosh I can't believe it worked oh I can't believe that worked that was awesome it's not a massive really good that was pretty cool cast up there and you get your line hung over a limb capitalize on it know that that jig just sitting right there in the tops of water is gonna draw the attention of any fish nearby and sure enough this 180 it's a whole bunch of beds right there let's try and pull a big glue you off yes dad what is that that's a perch learning all kinds of things in North Carolina it's like the third perch I've got in my life come on please please stop it's a freaking bluegill it's a bluegill come on come on come on dude come on let me kiss you no come on come on come on stay on stay on done deal oh my gosh it's a monster oh oh geez we worked for that one got out of our snags there it is Wow guys Wow oh man that's a giant I know that was pretty intense sorry for how much I freaked out but that's why I was freaking out look at the size of that bluegill so this is a giant bluegill okay first thing in the morning I've been using a tiny little grasshopper popper and that's been a ton of fun the bluegill come up right under it and they just they pop it they suck it down you know I've had something that'll pop it and they'll hit it like a foot in the air and then one comes back down they kill it when I when I came here I really thought that the only thing I would use this entire time would be this which is it it's a 150th ounce jig head with a tiny tiny tiny little crown out of an inch and a half long craw that's what I use for bluegill everywhere else in the United States and it worked great but for some reason it did not really work here I only caught a small fish on it and you know I kind of figured out the reason it's not working is because the bluegill are actually big enough to the point where they're looking for a big meal you know in most cases I won't really use a big lure for bluegill but here this is what has caught me all the big bluegill and that's that's a pretty big lure for a bluegill but it's just working great and their concerns I had was that it's too big to fit in their mouths and that when it and that the hook is too far forward that when they eat it it won't get far enough back in their mouth kokom but every big blue girl I've caught on this you can close their mouth and only the line is sticking out that's how much they're eating this bait they love this thing it's been a bunch of fun catching them on this and I've never like I said I've never used a lure that big for bluegill but they're just they're big enough bluegill here you know when you're when you're targeting two-pound bluegill that's the perfect bait that's a 1/32 south jig head on there and normally that's that's pretty big for me at least to be using from bluegill but with that big baton with all the appendages on that bait I think it sinks slow enough to where it falls into their strike zone at the absolute perfect pace for them to smash it so that's been my go-to lure here almost every fish has been caught on this this is a mr. twister twister Mike three inches to work on fantastic what I've found is that the the males are actually on the beds but the females aren't quite there yet whenever I'm fishing shallow spawning areas I'm catching a lot of the really good size males but all the bigger females have come off of offshore structure deeper water so I'm fishing May 12th and May 13th and I don't think I think the spawn is obviously started but it hasn't really started yet for the females the females are full of eggs but they're not moved up yet they're not actually on beds yet and the males are so I'm targeting the males on the shadow banks where I can actually see him I'm actually site fishing them and the bigger females I'm catching I'm catching up deeper and deeper structure and in deeper points but I think in another another week or two weeks I think the males and the females will both be up on fence but regardless stay tuned more catches coming good bluegill man good bluegill I'll get that in there get that net for me come on baby oh my god dude oh my god yes finally finally oh yeah finally oh wow oh my gosh I'm stoked that is terrifyingly big man oh my god yes gosh we call them hideous freaks oh they got that for ya that's nice oh yeah that's two pounds easy yeah yeah that's the biggest pier bluegill I've never cut yes that's a big bluegill yeah oh that's a monster let's go come on oh my goodness yes get that dude in there oh yeah oh it's a female -
