Tant crappie, but man they pull like a pickup truck.

11" redear and bull bluegill. Makings of a nice quart of fillets.


Those redear were easily 2+ inches at the gills. Caught mostly on teeny tiny crank baits and Burkley Power Bait Nymphs in burnt orange on a 1/64 jig head cast to the bank. Big fun and a six pack of beer to boot.

Gotta love them redear. Got a hole near my house full of big gills and redear. A riot on ultra light tackle. Great catch.

That's exactly what I fished this past week. Feels like a monster on the line compared to crappie. Love catching but hate cleaning them so I usually throw em back or give them away.

Looks like a lot of fun.

My son and I have been catching them using worms or pumpkin/chart. triple ripple grubs, alot of fun if your 40 or 6 years old, never gets old.

Nice, congrats on catching some big red ears and gills.

Red ears are fun to catch. Give a good pull for their size.
