FISHING FOR 3 POUND BLUEGILL!!! (UNBELIEVABLE)

[@DarkmanRides]

I don't think it's an overstatement to say most men will never catch a bluegill that size in their lifetime. Fabulous fish thanks for sharing it.

[@GardensoftheAncientsHerbal]

It’s the pressure. I found an old hidden spring in the country loaded with plate sized bluegill and monster bass and catfish. 😊

[@RustyShakleford01]

He didn't either. That's not a bluegill. It's a hybrid bred to be large like that.

[@LOWCOUNTRY_LEPRECHAUN]

I have and I’m 12 but that thing is massive nice catch

[@jamescraig8601]

You live in the wrong part of the country then. I'm 65 and have caught these since I was 9.

[@DarkmanRides]

@@jamescraig8601 you are what you say you are just post a picture of a bigger bluegill that you have caught and I will shut my pie hole

[@robertharvilla4881]

Those remind me of the giant bluegills I would catch out of my grandparents' pond when I was a kid. They were monsters, and my grandparents didn't like them because they thought they would outcompete the bass and catfish. So they told me to never throw back any that I caught, but I ignored them and never did because they were so much fun to catch and I definitely caught more of them than I did decent sized bass.

[@irkjustice5600]

So then they did outcompete the bass and catfish, which is why you caught more big gills than big bass?

[@spurbronc9449]

They get so big there because of invasive muscles.

[@yourt8563]

[@tonytran4857]

years ago I caught a couple over 7 lb

[@matthew-ww6vs]

If you want big bass you harvest most of the small bass if you want big bluegill you harvest any big bass

[@ozone5118]

I’ve caught bluegills that were big while bass fishing but I’ve never seen them that big fellas! Thanks for sharing!

[@darkpassenger65]

That is incredible. I've never seen Bluegill that big!

[@minnesotatomcat]

That 3 pounder your buddy caught was a tank but that biggest one you caught was one of the prettiest most perfect sunfish I’ve ever seen, I think I’d have got that one mounted 👍

[@deplorable_2024]

Replica is the best way to go. Measure it, photograph and turn it loose. He can do that anytime now.

[@donnieji4825]

An aquarium is the best way to go! You get to spend lots of years with it, up to 11 or 14!

[@sencerejones5363]

it definitely was but i think the one his buddy caught was still smaller than the one he caught man fr but both are really beautiful big catches!

[@howabouthetruth2157]

@@deplorable_2024 It does NO harm whatsoever to a healthy fishery to actually harvest some of these fish for the table. And let me tell ya: bluegill, shellcracker, pumpkinseed, and others from the sunfish family of panfish taste excellent. The reason, is these panfish breed like flies.......much like crappie. Ask any biologist, they will tell you that you MUST harvest some of your fish, to keep your lake or pond in proper balance. Same goes for the large natural lakes & reservoirs. Over-populations of fish can actually harm an otherwise healthy fishery. When ya have too many gamefish, they eat up all the forage items. This also goes for bass.

[@deplorable_2024]

Not sure what triggered you. I didn’t say anything about harming the fishery. The thread was about getting it mounted or putting it in an aquarium. I simply suggested a replica. I didn’t need your lecture on managing a fishery which I probably know more about than you do. Take a pill and chill out.

[@shahnapaul2005]

Those were huge hybrids! Really fun video. I can watch your fishing adventures all day long! Thanks for great content.

[@ryanshields4842]

You're the only fishermen I've ever seen that go bluegill fishing and then are unhappy with catching a striper lol not that I don't understand. Love your videos man, there's no channel like yours

[@JamesGross-vm6db]

TYSVM for sharing the monster bluegill's with us , all ... Bringing back a special day back in the early "60's . We had a bait company and we got to fish a friend of Dad's private lakes . Monsters to me but , his babies . Thanks for sharing !

[@lawrencehockett8179]

That looked like so much fun. Some people may not understand just how much fun catching big bluegill and shellcracker ( Redear Sunfish), really is. What’s better than that though is how good those fish are to eat. Fantastic table fare. Thank you for sharing a great video. Tight lines boys!

[@TakeMeFishingGary]

AWESOME VIDEOS! Good point, i wonder how many phones have been released in the exciting moments! Tight Lines Ty. Can't wait for your next video to drop.

[@MrCaissed]

3 lbs!!! That’s just insane! As always Ty another great video!

[@bcovington3811]

I usually catch the tiny ones no giant ones I’m sorry I mean I caught him in the smallmouth bass that’s it at my Pawn

[@TheDetroitman20]

Big healthy fish. Thanks for sharing brother!! 👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯

[@carlreed9357]

That's fun on light tackle. Great show. My friend and I have started fishing for speckled trout with our ultralight crappie rigs, That's a hoot!!!

Geez, those are some slabs right there ! Very cool 🙂

[@toddpeterson9557]

Best Blue Gills I have ever seen, great job, cool video.................

[@EricFortuneJr.]

This reminds me of a quarry that I used to fish up in NC. It’s packed with big bluegills, big red ears, bass and crappie. I do mainly saltwater now, but this brings back memories.

[@jetta5267]

Quarries are the place too fish!

[@BlackMan-yf7xd]

What part of the state? I need to go there..me..I live in NC

[@rashadfletcher1870]

[@joelmcmahan7386]

Thanks again TY PIG PATROL for sharing another great video of great fish from bream, catfish, gar, shark you sure do catch a lot of whales. 🎣🐟🏆🎥👑💯

[@thomashead656]

Absolutely un.... real... wow, man. Love it!!

[@Op1zilla]

Nice find guys 👽👍🏻🚲💥💨💨💨

[@Retired_Deer_Hunter]

I haven't seen Bluegill like that since the early 80's and I have never had the privilege of catching 1 that big. I would never mount any fish with the technology they have today. You can get a replica after taking all the correct measurements and taking pictures. They're too precious of a find to just waste for a memory. Congratulations you guys! Those are some Beautiful Bluegill. That 1 looked the size of an iron skillet for goodness sake! I wouldn't share that fishing spot with anyone I didn't trust wholeheartedly! Congratulations on the fish of a lifetime!😊❤

[@OPHSZ-Fishin4LYFE]

Catching some Big Ones!! Nice video

Good job ... those where some nice gills

Nice fish, I caught a 4 1/2 lb. At a golf course back in '70's thinking it was a large mouth bass we were fishing for in Lakewood California. Great memories.

dude I don't care how old you are or how long you've been fishing or what, catching bream is always fun. from a kid with crickets and cane pole to someone like you in this video going for the big boys, they're just fun to catch. not to mention they taste really, really good

[@johnblossom8447]

Wow! Those are giants. Nice video as always.

[@theawkwardobserver8757]

Those hybrids are huge !

[@montywilliams9580]

Awesome stuff. One of my fav to catch. Wish I could raise some in my tank in Texas.

[@jefferysummers9550]

Try Parr Resivoir in South Carolina. A day of ten three pound redears is common place. It's full of stumps so there's tons of cover and an abundance of threadfin shad. Also loaded with giant blue catfish.

[@michaelsiengo1]

We used to have a shell cracker brim here in North Carolina that were bigger than that my biggest I have seen the 3 lbs. 8 oz. well done

[@TyPigPatrol]

That’s a monster!!!

Those jokers are huge!

[@timbowen8749]

Those are beautiful fish and would like to have a couple of them in my 125 gallon tank! I have a friend who has a pond with hybrid sunfish that are huge and colorful too and a few kinds of panfish from Florida that are nice!

Your channel is great! Keep it up

[@Fireworxs2012]

*Lake Ossawinamakee (sp), A little east & north of Brainard, Minnesota, 1973. We caught a boatload of them on nightcrawlers & beetle spins. Also in deep water next to a marina...We didn't weigh fish back then but some of them were bigger than those. Most of them would easily cover a full-sized dinner plate. We dipped them in my Mother's homemade beer batter & deep fried them...We ate like Kings....One of my favorite childhood memories.*

[@bryanwooten8228]

Nice Slabs 👍🏾

[@jaywiles4609]

I love how you guys are using worms keeping it real thanks for the vids

Absolute giants is 💯 legit!! Light tackle and, the drag is singing our song!!!

[@ericharris5299]

Amazing video Ty

[@stanwebb3480]

So Great!!! Those are insanely Big!!! Ty, 4 lbs. line that is the insane part, what happen if a bigger fish 5,6,7, 8, 9, 10 fish comes alone....

[@bushfishncook2128]

I have caught a 73cm 6kg carp on 4lb 👍🏼💪 It's all about the drag/line tension

[@RobbinsJoe]

Amazing hog Bluegills! A lifetime ago we used to fish a lake in Minnesota and we found a place and bait that caught what we thought were Hawg Bluegutters as we called em. We had to use live leeches to get the big ones, worms only caught little ones. The fish we thought were huge were just over 1 -1.5 pounds. Then you are catching these mutants twice that size? 😆 🤣 Congrats on the fish and another great video. Keep up the good work.

[@hidenoturichannel]

Amazing.🐟️

[@waterratlyle2590]

What a TANK pan fish well done

[@blumobean]

My dad and I fished all over South Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. The big bluegill and shell crackers would pull the boat around. When they were on the bed we would fish with tiny plugs on 6 lb test. When I went alone I used a fly rod on bedding bream. Once you catch a really big bream, you will forget bass fishing

[@tadhghayden8440]

Those were great fish....looks like u found where they hold up for colder months...

[@noahgonefishing23]

Wow those are really big bluegills! That looked like a load of fun! They also look like good catfish bait!

[@chadjones4236]

Holy hell those are legit👍 those have some age and eat well

[@Fishingwithchance2024]

Good job man a few weeks ago I caught a bluegill that was 1 lbs. 1 oz. in a river in Georgia

[@TheFishinMortician]

Man the quality and amount of MONSTER fish you always manage to find amazes me!

[@jantzenlippincott2785]

Lol that was hilarious if I hear that's what I use for flathead bait I had to sub for that's was epic!

[@michaelleady9089]

Great job

[@nonooutdoor]

Sun fish are so beautiful… we have tilapia fish looks like those sun fish. They are very tasty.

[@paulwerline6249]

Me and my dad would go fishing 2 weeks outta every summer in Minnesota when I was a teenager. Well one summer we got on a lake we had to walk about two miles back to and the owners of the cabins we were staying at carried our boats in on atvs. Everyone who was with us caught their limit of largemouth and we had fish baskets full of bluegill with not one under 2lbs the biggest were over 3lb. They use to put out a blue book of biggest catches for the year and we were in it that year for bluegill and for northerns.

[@joshuagibson2520]

Jaaaaaaysus Christ! That's a bruiser right there!

[@Tyler-Woody]

No way!!!!! This is so cool.

[@scots2129]

The size of the fish this man catches is unreal. It is like a gift from god

I was taken to a lake with a dam somewhere in Eastern NJ when I was a kid . That was full of big slobs like that. Wish I remembered where it was....😊

[@sullytime3833]

Awesome day of fishing! Thank you for sharing your experience with us all Ty

[@intheshell35ify]

I got into a farm pond that hadn't been fished in decades. It was full of huge bluegill and stunted crappie. I learned how to use an electric fillet knife that summer. I mean 3lb butter tub lid bluegill. When they turned sideways you couldn't hardly turn their head back. Pound for pound best fighting fish I've come across.

[@jamesburris3929]

Picture worthy !!!!!! The flathead bait comments come from fisherman who think catfish are the only thing to catch...I love catching big bluegill !!!

[@michaelclinard4969]

I Slade some massive Largemouth in Texas last week I went to a bunch of urban ponds biggest one was 12 and a quarter caught a lot of crappie and these Sunfish are amazing wow

[@attitudeadjusted9027]

Man those were some healthy gills. Any body of water that has a healthy gill population has big everything else😲. I'd loved to filet some of those. Great vid and keep your powder dry and your pantry stocked young man 💪😎🙏
