Just got off the lake after THE MOST AMAZING day of sunfishing I have ever had. The no lie truth is, in my lifetime of fishing I have caught 5 sunfish at a pound, biggest being 1lb 1 oz.

Today the number grew to 40.  No lie!

Here is one weighing 1lb 3oz 10.5.  With many more just like it that didnt get photo'd because of being in a canoe and partner also catch them hand over fist.

and one more

sorry not sure how to rotate the first pic.

 

​You have a couple of great photos to remember that once in a lifetime day. Congrats!

Been getting a bunch of these guys lately pre fishing a local walleye tourney. They seem to run with the eyes, where you find walleyes you'll find these guys. I got one last week that was 11". The one my buddy is holding in the solo pic is just shy of 11. DANDY'S!!

Been on some really nice gills lately!  Find the weed edges or cabbage and their will be fish.  Found our biggest fish in 8-12 feet of water.

Great looking gills Thalmann

A few better ones from the other day.

Got out on the water yesterday with a good friend.  The numbers and size were incredible.  We found all our fish on midlake structures.  Rocks and outside weed edges were the ticket.

nice job Thalmann!!

[Thalmann]

Decided to switch it up and try out a new lake that I have not been to before but has good numbers on the DNR report.   Didn't take long to find some nice beauties.   It wasn't nonstop action but the ones we found were big and fat.   Worked a deep weed edge that led into a flat with about a 1-2' hump on it.  I trolled back and forth between the weed edge and this hump and picked the fish off.

Got out this weekend on one of the smaller bodies of water we have descent ice on. What was first a walleye hunt quickly turned into a panfish catching extravaganza! These gills would circle around us and come in BIG waves on the vex.  Walleyes weren't very active that day. Here's a few nice gills and a descent eye we managed to ice, with plenty of others caught throughout the time we spent out there.

This guy snuck out after work yesterday on one of our favorite lakes in our area we typically fish.  Managed a good handful of craps on the finicky bite we have going around here lately. Ice isn't the greatest yet and is very spotty. Hoping the wind clears these lakes off for some decent ice to be made and the fish start to get more aggressive. Look for another post Sunday night if this happens! Safe fishing!

[556LaGue]

Managed a few picture worthy slabs over the weekend. Fishing was tough with a temp of around zero and the fish being hard to find and stay on top of. Most fish found suspended 5-10' off bottom in about 30 fow and were caught on a variety of plastics with a few on wax worms. A lot of work but fun either way! I was rewarded with no doubt one of the biggest crappies I've ever iced, have a look!

[556LaGue]

Thanks man! Will do. Let me know when you're available to hit the ice!

Fun time today for my first outing.  Love the new clam scout!  Plastics were key today.
