Too much fun!
Finally got out to Lake Perris. It's been quite a while since I've fished here. Broke in my new JDM Mebaru 7' 6" rod (thanks Sonny!) with this 1 1/4 lb Bluegill. This rod is super light with a solid graphite tip and is very sensitive. I've never fished a rod like this before. Fish hit a slow trolled 1/48 oz.belly spinner jig on 2 lb test line. I forgot just how strong these big panfish are, especially with a long light rod and 60 to 70 feet of line out! All big Bluegill are C & R.
