I hit the big perch jackpot | the best redfin fishing I have ever had off the bank of any lake

I really did hit the big perch jackpot last week. This is the best redfin fishing that I have ever had off the bank of any lake. I can think of a day that would equal, or possible beat it from my dads boat, but from the bank this wins hands down.
I fished Lake Buffalo with my dad in his boat last Saturday for just 7 or 8 small redfin. Then I went back on my own on Monday and hit the jackpot when filming this video.
Excited, I went back up there a few days later with my wife Lauretta, and managed to catch just 1 small redfin.

When I had a great lot of panfish like yours that was going to be my breakfast before school. I used to get my Mum to save bacon grease and I used that to cook my breakfast fish. It added the bacon curd flavor. Nice lot of fish there. Days like that spoil me for the slower days. Good job Robbie.

[@mrdilligaf1968]

Nice big reddies ! Noticed over the years that often their growth is stunted if there's too many in a waterway. I caught a big reddit once and after checking his gut , it had a huge yabbie that he'd swallowed whole. They're quite a savage feeder. Thanks n cheers Robbie !

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate. That is spot on. They're definitely all about balance. You never catch hundreds of big ones. When there's that many they're usually smaller average size. A lot of people will kill ad many as theu can to try and thin them out and encourage better growth.

[@jesperbrrupnielsen7793]

@@robbiefishing the red perch is an extremely slow growing fish. a 35 cm perch might be as old as 15-20 years old. you wanna keep the smaller, and let bigger ones go, to help keep the stock healthy. i fish some private waters, thats almost havent been fished for 30+ years. the perch in there are amazing. 1,5 kilo perch is rather common. got my biggest last summer, at 54 cm and just above 3 kilos. amazing fish, and amazing fight on a tiny 0-4 gram rod :)

Thank you so much for your kind words mate. Lake Buffalo is certainly a very picturesque lake to fish, absolutely beautiful. While I had a ripper session when I filmed this last Monday, it is a bit hit and miss up there at the moment. Thankfully I hit on this trip. March is the mist consistent.

Yea the ones we got there years ago were never big. The trout on the other hand were pretty big with many over 6 pounds.
