Fishing for Big Bluegill When Bass Won't Bite - Float Rig & Bottom Rig

[@eikofisser8171]

We don't have bluegill here in Germany, but when I see your videos I always wonder how fat the little slings can become! And the colors are so bright, very nice!! Greetings from Germany!

[@RealisticFishing]

They can get big. Record is like 4 pounds. But Anything close to a pound is big 👍

[@dylant4737]

Notice how the tiny ones jump out of your hand and the big ones stay put and flex 💪🏻

[@Agile47509chicken]

Helpful hint with the dried minnow - toss it into the water for a minute. It’ll soak up some water and skip right off.

[@Einh0ven]

Those were some beastly bluegills!

[@RealisticFishing]

I agree!

[@jefferystovall9617]

Catching big gills is always fun.

[@RealisticFishing]

biggins!

[@Sum1Fishy]

When we fish at night, bats always be hitting our lines too... Lol I also see bass jump out trying to get them

[@RealisticFishing]

Cool! Never seen a bass try to eat a bluegill

[@Sum1Fishy]

@@RealisticFishing you meant bat... What I believe 🤣

[@RealisticFishing]

Ha! I did mean bat! Of course I have seen them eat bluegill

[@flipsideshock23]

Bite is tough here also. Still 40 degrees at night. Was snowing 6 days ago.👀😰

[@RealisticFishing]

At least the panfish are active over this way 👍

[@kenjones4564]

That was a batty fishing time!!!! 👍

[@RealisticFishing]

Sure was!

[@chitownmike5075]

Nice bull-gills, Alex!

[@RealisticFishing]

Oh yeah 👊

[@redbeard6606]

Great looking Bluegills Alex plus the bonus of getting your bobber back.

[@RealisticFishing]

Sometimes you can get the tackle back, if you just wait a minute or two

[@kevintebo3736]

Nice night fishing. Great big blue

[@RealisticFishing]

Fishing at night can be fun

[@hubieperez9896]

Awsome night of fishing Alex .

[@RealisticFishing]

Oh yeah, you fish at night?

[@quickresponsefishing]

For real those dried gulps harden so much they could cut glass lol. Nice bluegill, very solid and colorful.

[@RealisticFishing]

😅 dried gulp top ten hardest substances on earth

[@bobzilla6618]

Those were some beautiful bluegills! Big ones too! Seeing all of those bats made me think of bat country by avenged sevenfold. Lol. Nature is so beautiful.

[@joebuck66]

Man Alex, them were literally Pan fish. Even the little ones were really pretty. Great video.

[@InTheWoodsToday]

For any haters that think Bluegill are not fun to catch and "dont fight", go listen to that drag and watch that rod bend! Keep It Realistic!

[@dylant4737]

Those were some MAMBO gills! Some of those even beat the private pond I fished! (Remember the photo I sent of Mark’s giant gill he caught on a Texas rigged six inch worm? That’s the pond I’m talking about)

[@arturomoreno4911]

Good to see her back!!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

I agree. Theres no place like home

[@marlojohnston4217]

Such a great fishing day Alex!! Those bluegills were some of the biggest I've ever seen!! Great job as always Alex!!! Thank you for always keeping it realistic 🙂

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks for watching Marlo 😀

[@marlojohnston4217]

@@RealisticFishingyou're welcome Alex, but it's truly my pleasure! 🙂

[@quietlife4me]

King of the pond!

I bet there are bigger bluegill in there 👍

[@jensbekmann4454]

Night fishing is cool!

[@RealisticFishing]

Its is! Especially when you are catching something

[@ghayes2135]

Great bluegill fishing! Your club lake is nice!

[@RealisticFishing]

Its a bit on the small side, but it has camping!

[@aaronstickles2559]

Nice bull gills man, holy cow!! Keep it realistic my friend...

[@RealisticFishing]

Oh yeah!

[@shawnweaver4556]

Great catch. You could have had a meal out of those giant bluegills, they were thick.

[@RealisticFishing]

Yes, they were big enough to keep for sure

[@TAStormChasing]

Holy crap That gill had a belly! Thanks for videos. Again glad you got your combo back.

[@nashguy207]

Those last 2 Bluegill's were really nice. we have Bats around here I think thats why we don't have a lot of mosquitoes

[@joycedimaggio3816]

Nice bluegill! Beautiful colors! Couple of nice slabs Alex!!

[@Dravenos]

Absolute slabs! Once again proving Gulp! Minnows are indeed a great choice!

[@RealisticFishing]

They are reliable for me 👍

[@duanetaylor1526]

Fighting bats at dusk.... losing your rig in a tree.... chasing down your bobber.... forgetting to take your old bait off your hook from last trip.... Sounds like realistic fishing.... Thanks for keeping it real!!!

[@enduringpatriot]

Super Bull-Bream! Really great fighters when they get that big. Been ages since I caught one as big as your last three!

[@thirddayangling6962]

awesome video. I just got some gulp alive minnow. gonna make a video with them real soon. Keep it realistic!

[@RealisticFishing]

Good luck!

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

Beautiful colors on those big bluegill. They put up such a great fight.especially on lighter gear.

[@rossbowman202]

Way to reel in those tanks Alex. The club pond is paying off. Look forward to thr next one.

[@TheMoonEcat]

Dark and bats with those gulp minnows. Good times!

[@John-ik9ot]

HUGE! So glad you got your rod and reel back!

[@randallpinkfloyd7225]

Those club bluegills are nice!

[@martinkawaisantos7761]

I like ur insights u share alex ive learned alot since watching ur vids i can tell u fishing in hawaii water are alot easier... fresh water fishing is a whole new world 🌎 since i moved to the states teaches u patience for sure... lol

[@RealisticFishing]

But once you get the hang of it, its so much fun 👍

[@fishingwithjesus2274]

Again so glad you got it back!!! Prayers answered! The bullgill lol call you batman

[@pedrotender]

Good thing you didn't get those bass bites and had to change rig so we could see those jumbos! What a great fishing it turned out to be.

[@pedrotender]

About those bats... That's the time to try out that Savage gear bat lure 😅

[@RealisticFishing]

@@pedrotender If I ever see a bass jump out at one, I will try it

[@hagglakefishing]

Those were some awesome bluegills!!!! You need to go there more often.

[@joshuacampbell1383]

Man that 8 inch bullgill was amazing. Fighting off bats while night fishing is one of the most realistic things you can do. KIR

[@jpboy1399]

Those are definitely the biggest gills I can recall from your channel! Nice work Alex, always keep it realistic.

[@CasualGirlAdventures]

Thos are some big Bluegill, Wow! I m excited to get out and try for some. great job. take care

[@ianmartin619]

Awesome looks like fun

[@RealisticFishing]

It was!

[@AdventureswithaaronB]

Ain’t nothin wrong with bluegill fishing. Most of us started like that. Fishing for bass has been slow in Georgia to

[@RealisticFishing]

Bluegill is what got me started

[@davetheheretic295]

Nice. I can rarely find them that size locally. Got on some bass today, though, including a 3 lber that peeled drag. I'm so happy I could cry.

[@FirstCatch]

Huge bluegills. Good fishing Alex. Thumbs up!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@redrhinooutdoors]

Good vid 👏..Gulp to the rescue .. I personally luv the gulp baits

[@RealisticFishing]

Really good product

Alex, that was a wild video! Those bluegill were monsters... And we get nice gills here in Orlando. Thanks again for your entertaining videos and keep em coming. Orlando Ron

[@Gwtribe2882]

spooky!

[@lisatwitchell403]

The Gulp Minnow and your rig are still working quite well for me. With all the weather switching from hot to cold, I was not expecting very good fishing conditions Saturday. I was not disappointed. The fishing was difficult but we did catch several crappie, bluegill, and shellcrackers. The We included 4 friends, an unusual circumstance, we also caught a few small bass. We are still waiting for some fishing weather. 🤞🎣🚣🏿‍♀️

[@carltonphelps8088]

Those are some great catches. The colors are wonderful.

[@tomfisher2103]

Nice to see you out there in good spirits and the bluegills were killer. Nice video as always brother!

[@lisatwitchell403]

I certainly understand your feeling about recovering your fishing rod. Saturday, I was using a Fenwick rod that I bought 45 years ago. I have several rods that are better for many circumstances. However, that lovely old rod was perfect for what I was doing and I would cry real tears if I lost it.

[@jamesterry9267]

Realistically, I'm just glad you were able to get your rod back! 🤙🐠🐟

[@lmp1115]

Awesome fishing there Alex!

[@ardscorner]

Nice fishing Alex.....weather still pretty crap here in UK but he managed a 26.4 mirror carp yesterday.....KIR

[@fishlovme]

Wow, those were some nice bluegills, especially those last two before it was pitch black dark out! I get one or two every time out about that size. They're special fish and I love the fight!

[@dennisrenner1680]

Gotta love when you make Gulp Jerkey! Also have you ever considered using a slip bobber and bobber stop? Just suggesting an alternative rig.

[@RealisticFishing]

Yeah, but its a pain and losing slip bobbers gets expensive 😉

[@7citiesfishing]

You definitely should come fish here with me and Dewey! Get ya on some good saltwater fish

Hopefully one day!
