So Steve and I went out today...water was 69 and glassed over. Very thin layer of fog and a little chilly. Started throwing my swim bait and well it was open season. Nothing to big in the LMB ...a few 3 pounders were the biggest. Steve managed to hook up with a hybrid redeart/blue gill. If you havent seen one before then check out the pic....they have the shape of a red ear but vertical bars and some fins like a blue gill...awesome looking fish. As we were finishing up our day, a guy pulls up to my boat and asked if I want a fish....I told him that I just catch and release so no thanx. I then asked what kind just to be curious and well he answers with..."Striper"...huh? I was like ok lets see it and he said sure........he pulls out a beast and a half of a fish. Steve said he would take it since the guy let it die.....on a side note, if you dont plan on eating the fish then just release it, dont just let it die then give it away! I weighed it on the DIGI and it read 16.2 !!!!!! so for anyone who doesnt believe that there are striper in Perris well here you go. By the way he caught it fishing for trout on a power mouse ...took him a half hour to get it in on his light tackle.
