An ALMOST 4 POUND BLUEGILL!!!? (UNREAL)

In this video, I am fishing in Arizona chasing Giant sunfish with my pals Zach and Jake! We find a few good fish.....and then Zach finds the absolute biggest sunfish I have ever seen! I will go back next year to try to find one like the one Zach caught in this video!

Back in the '70's I used to fish at a golf course in Southern California and actually caught a 4 1/2 lb sun fish while fishing largemouth bass. The '70's were so much fun. No politics, no cell phones, no drama. Be safe all...

[@TyPigPatrol]

sounds like a good time to be alive!

[@roaddawg714]

It was some great times

[@soapnocs1079]

Vietnam and nixon don’t count as politics?

[@leir2005]

Golf course fishing is some of the best fishing there is

[@jed1166]

The Vietnam War, Kent State, The Munich Olympics massacre, Watergate, The Symbionese Liberation Army, the Arab oil embargo, the Iranian hostage crisis… it seems that our recollection of the 1970’s is quite different. EXCEPT, you nailed the no cellphone thing!

[@tadhghayden8440]

Those fish are another level both in size n colouration. That lake is a crystal gem of a place...

[@TyPigPatrol]

Agreed man, thanks for watching!

[@originalseahorse]

You guys made it look so easy to catch these guy's. In Wisconsin they only assemble and go crazy for 3-4 days in the spring then almost nothing for the rest of the year. Don't be so modest what a creel!

[@user-ot9ms6vx8h]

I remember catching little ones as a kid. That 4 lb. Bluegill is a monster👍😄

[@loveminis31]

Holy cow, big enough to feed a family. I wonder what fishing was like before we came along and built all of our stuff.

[@breakawaybooks4752]

Probably worse to be honest, for runoff creates food.

[@JonBecker81]

I wonder if a massive 4 lb red ear would be any good?

[@ceesvanderschoot9799]

There are some very old video from Tuna fishery and holy shit those were epic Tuna,s …

[@loveminis31]

Years ago my Dad took us fishing and we ate what we caught. Some places had Red Ear Sunfish. They tasted good and we had sweet corn, tomatoes, and new potatoes. Summer feast

[@chadwright7614]

Pretty epic is my guess

[@jeffarmfield2346]

That is friggin insane!! Possibly one of the coolest fish I've ever seen, esp when I start thinking about how we talk about knowing a good panfish spot if we're catching like 1 lb fish 🤣 that thing was a freak of nature for its species.

[@adamsmith3996]

No. The record is over 5 lbs. In certain bodies of water they just get huge. Hardly anyone fishes for them.

[@TyPigPatrol]

Thanks jeff, some places i fish were lucky to get a 1/2 lb bluegill, just seeing this one was a real treat!

[@squatchcountyfishing3596]

I love these panfish videos! For small fish they fight so hard. Imagine the fight if they got to be like 12 pounds. Monster panfish are definitely top of my list

[@TyPigPatrol]

agreed man such cool fish, thanks for watching!

[@gradybrowning3976]

Yes Sir, love when you catch those monster brim!

[@TyPigPatrol]

Thanks Grady, they are my favorite!

[@Doc_Holiday]

Great vid! Love your enthusiasm! used to fish an off the beaten path reservoir in N. Ca. when I lived there and we occasionally caught red ears 1 to 1.5 pound and thought they were monsters lol.

[@jimholliman2822]

Ty you shown us several giant bluegill in your videos. They look like they're puffed out beyond all possibility. I imagine a bluegill like that exploding underwater rather than growing old!

[@LouisianaCatchas]

I really love ur videos u help me get better at fishing. Keep it up

[@attitudeadjusted9027]

I bet you would absolutely tear em up crickets on a slip float. That's what we use for big gills round here. And all the local bait shops have been getting giant crickets lately if you want them. Never used to be sold by size but they are now. Maybe their coming from all the new cricket farms that have popped up since they want us to eat crickets now😲. Another epic vid and keep your powder dry and your pantry stocked young man 💪😎🙏

[@TyPigPatrol]

Interesting, theres no crickets or grashoppers around this lake ....would really like to try them to see if it works!

[@tmo4330]

3.7 lbs? And I have a 2 acre pond in Alabama, the largest bluegills are 1 lb 6 oz. Maybe a few heavier. I have fishing buddies that LIE all the time about catching monster shellcrackers and bluegill (even bass). I weigh all mine on digital scales! You are amazing!

Nice video Ty you need to get out on some of these ponds in Texas in your kayak and see where some of the bigger sunfish are.

[@megastick9324]

Here in Fl we get some really nice bream, bluegills, shell crackers, stump knockers. When they bed up you can score a cooler full in a couple hrs. 1 1/4- 1 1/2# all day, even a few 2# sometimes. But I’ve never seen a bream that big in my life! Well done! We love fishing them on ultra lites with a worm, right on the bottom. Sometimes crickets really turn them on. Just a great day fishing and a great dinner.

[@geedee2420]

What's a "Stump Knocker"?

[@megastick9324]

@@geedee2420 some places call them spotted sunfish. Down here they’re stumpknockers, because they live in and around stumps and snags.

Lake Havasu is one of my favorite places to fish. You should go fish rainbow pools in Groveland California right outside Yosemite. The biggest and prettiest Native rainbow trout you will ever see. You have to do a 20-minute hike but it's so worth it. I travel there from Texas every year because it's that incredible. I fish behind the old sawmill. above rainbow pools. Dig a hole right on the bank and use the native live worms.

[@TyPigPatrol]

Sounds awesome, how big are the rainbows?

[@jhljhl2207]

Use to fish a pond and it was picture perfect. I'm sure you can almost see it. It had giant brim/sunfish/bluegill you could only catch on one side of the pond. Pure blast

[@davidhopper4433]

I worked in Tarrant AL back in the 70’s - 80’s . There is or was a Hardware store there that had a 6-1/4 Blue gill mounted that was caught out of a nearby rock quarry lake.

Little open face Daiwa ultra-lite with 4lb line . My first was about 8 inches long and it almost pulled the rod outta my hand ! Lol - caught a few small ones that day . Well , he took me to a different , deeper creek and told me to bring my largemouth setup . Glad he did ! Caught my pb that was 5-14 and it was the best/longest fight i've ever had with a fish .
