Beautiful fish.
Are you both using the same rod? What's the make and model?
It was a real good day for Redear (RE) fishing. Granted they aint the giants but all are in the 10 to 11 class. The majority of the fish came in 6 to 12 surface water is 64.7* F. Me and my boy Tu were using 2lb test & crawlers with a custom 1/32nd football jig and I used my CK3 special (John must have been smiling on me today). That jig caught a lot of the Redear for myself. We also used the chub (1/48th) and the chub belly spinner (1/24th) with crickets. Tu caught 3 nice Bluegill (BG) using a 1/32nd Tyrone (LP OG jig) also. We kept 38 Redear and 2 Bluegill.

Can you fix the date? Should be 04/03/11. Thnx
The rod is the Phenix Elixir FX701-1 (2-6LB) with Pluger Patriarch. Was also using St.Croix Premier PS66ULF (2-6LB) with a Shimano Saros 1000 and a Custom wrap California IM7 blank 7' 2-piece (2-6LB) with a Pluger Supreme XT - all strung with Yo-Zuri hybrid 2lb green.
Not sure what Tu was using.
Sounds like a great day! Beautiful fish!
Mississippi Crappie and Alabama football...Life is good.
I spend most of my time ...lately...on the Crappie side of the house. Although that will change when our waters warm up a little more. I am a Shellcracker and Bluegill nut. I too use light line...2# test. Those are nice fish! I have been catching 5 and 6 inch fish the last week or so but don't have to tell you how they fight. Don't want to hijack your post so am sending you a PM about rod and reel.
