Catching Huge Bluegill and Setting 3 New PB's in Southwest Florida Canal (Catch, Clean, Cook)

This was absolutely an epic day for both Mason and myself. Mason set two new PB's (Personal Best), his biggest Bluegill (1.28 lbs) and biggest bass(14 inches). It was incredible watching him fight the fish on his own, and the excitement he had was priceless. I, on the other hand, also set a new PB with a Bluegill weighing in at 1.26 lbs. These were definitely the biggest Bluegill I've ever seen in my life. Hope you enjoy!

You're one hell of a dad!!!! My Mom had me on the fishing bank around his age and it became our thing to do together up until 2007 when she passed away. My best memories are on the fishing bank with her. He's going to remember that forever. I really enjoyed this video. Number 1 Dad 😆

To see and hear the excitement from your son put the biggest smile on my face. He will remember that for the rest of his life. Great job dad.

Your boy will remember these trips for the rest of his life. I remember vividly a day when I was four at Thanksgiving, going with my Uncle Rod duck hunting. He shot two canal Mallards, best day of my life to that point. He and I and another couple uncles made a lifetime of memories when I was a kid and a teenager. I treasure them.

Thank you for sharing. It's been a few years since we've put anything together for KZfaq, but Mason still asks me to put on our fishing videos. We certainly have made some great memories and hope to get back to sharing videos again one day.

You said you've never seen a bluegill as big as that first fish, but it wasn't a bluegill (the second and third were). That was a red ear sunfish, AKA shellcracker, the largest member of the lepomis genus. Those are my absolute favorite fish to fish for, catch, and eat! Your son is already a great fisherman to land that biggy! Love the video and just subbed!
