 Yeah, you were little, but you wanted a shot and I got you. Always a blessing to start your morning with a topwater strike. Big or small, I'll take them all. Welcome on back to the channel everybody. We are out in the crispy collector today. We're on a bluegill mission, but I just had to start with the topwater, meet them up, crack it down, you gotta get your popper on, do a little blue-blue, you know what I'm saying? One of the reasons I wanted to get some bluegill is to do some cat fishing as well. I want to set out some trot lines, some jug lines, and just collect them kitty cats because they're so delicious. Bluegill are like, they're like the pork chop of the lake. Fun fact, Lunkers and I caught a nine pound bass on a bluegill head, like not even a full bluegill. This was on a jug line, so I'm telling you, everything loves to eat them. So I've made up a little box here, just got gill stuff in it, very small little crank baits, I've got small little swim baits. Just got real small hooks. You need small hooks when you're going after true bluegills. Other sunfishes, like war mouths and green ears and red ears maybe. Some that have the bigger mouths, not a problem for eating regular croppy hooks and even bass hooks sometimes. There's a guard, oh you missed him, you missed him. Sorry, I wasn't quick enough with the camera. But anyways y'all, we're going to get some gills. We've got our meat necklace here. We've come to collect in the crispy, so let's get her done. So I'm going to rig up one of these just tiny tiny saucy swimmers on a 132 ounce head. So that's going to be option number one or two, whatever, we're going to have two options. So that little bit smaller profile than this, this is a much bigger weight, bigger plastic. Then we're going to rig up what's probably going to be the key player. And I'm going to do a little cork rig and I'm going to try just one of these tiny little jigs, micro ice jigs. I've got these out of a MTB box, I think it was a pan fish box actually. Put that on there, maybe mix that up, try a swim bait and obviously if you put like a little grout, like a live little grub or any piece of worm or anything, it's going to get destroyed on this type of rig. That would be what I would recommend the most, but I like fishing lures, so that's what we're going to do. Okay, we'll go hitting the cork, not hitting the jig, there they go, got him. Actually not bluegill, but we'll take them, get them on the little jig head and string them up today now, hang them out over the crispy. Oh, we got him. Oh, there go, I got a bass, little minis, the old snake we got here, want some of this lure baby? Want some of that action? I didn't want it, I didn't want smoke. Another pretty one, look at that tiny mouth, oh my good bait, there's a fatty, there's a nice big fatty. There's one on the ramp, that's probably one I'm going to put in my mouth right there. That one's not going to be bait. This is an actual gill, these, I can't remember what they are, but they're not bluegill. All of them though are in the sunfish family, including largemouth bass, so you can see the difference there. They're very pretty though, I think those are, I'm not even going to say, green ears, blue ears. Right now I think we've got four, we've got one hand bone and the rest are just little old nerves. I was actually trying to open the marinas, because usually you get, you know, giant bluegill to hang out in marinas, people drop stuff off the dock and you get these megalodons that are just like corn and bread fit, but I was just getting tiny little bites, so actually the most action I've seen is on the main lake. So there's a lot of them that are starting to move deep, I think that are already done spawning, but they'll, bluegills stay up shallow all year, that's the crazy thing about them is you can find gills and sunfish anywhere in the lake honestly. You can fish them in two foot, you can fish them in 40 foot, you can get a couple of rando pops with the little 1.32 ounce jig, oh I got him, got him on the swimming, gotta be sizable, he's eating the swimming, oh yeah, oh yeah, that is what we want, eating the swimming and pee pee into, on the meat necklace you go, that's a pretty good one there, so that is big as they come out on this lake, came back to work four or five times, perfect little bait or if you wanted to eat it, de-scale it, oh my gosh, Wham Bam, that should be a better one there, oh yeah, wide body, wide body coming in, there's an eater, yeah he wanted it, he wanted it, here we go, Wham Bam, another wide body, wants to see it, on and on, lost him at the boat, that was a good one, that was a good one to have, oh here we go, come on baby, get in here, we mess around, decent one, it's not a bluegill but it's decent one, oh gosh, full attack, full attack mode, your bait, here we go, come on now, get in here, gonna make a nice little pork chop for a catfish, come here now, little bait, oh y'all I think our necklace is getting pretty full here, we got her done y'all, the meat necklace is pretty full back there, I've got two or three on each little deal so, got enough for a meal and enough for bait, it's perfect, they're on a necklace, do you know that, they're on a necklace, you can just pull them all out, you hold all of them, yeah that's my girl, Ben is taking a nap so we're just kind of playing outside with them, just checked on the chickens, they are good, I think I know what is going on here with this motor too, this has been bugging me because I just realized when I got home I started charging it, I was like it's like it's not even connected to a battery, so there's some sort of electrical issue, it's not that the battery was low in power, you know I thought a new battery would get it working and it did not, so I need to find, I think there's a fuse box on this thing somewhere that I need to find and maybe this will help somebody if I figure it out, found a little fuse box, so if you have one of these little engines, your trim stops working or your electric start, this might be the reason let me, this doesn't look good, try to pull this out without losing it, yeah that fuse, you guys probably can't see inside of there, that fuse is broken, I'm hoping that this is an extra fuse right here, that's included with it, 20 amp fuse, oh I think it is, I think it is, oh my goodness if this works, okay that's in there, I'm gonna cut this charger off real quick, okay if this works I'm going to be a happy camper, oh my gosh that was it, that was it, that was totally it, she's working smooth, we're done fishing for the day y'all, I'm not going to to cook these on camera, I've got another video that I've done before cooking whole bluegill, that's probably how I'll do these, is just frying them whole, just pan frying them, but mostly these are going to go towards the trot lines and the jug lines that I need to go build, right now I have some left over that are still working, but some I just need to fix up and put new hooks on and everything like that, so that is what I'm going to be doing next, hopefully we get them online, so stay tuned for all that action smash that like button for outdoor greatness, God bless you Godspeed and I'll see you on the next one.
