  • In this video, I am fishing in Arizona chasing Giant sunfish with my pals Zach and Jake! We find a few good fish.....and then Zach finds the absolute biggest sunfish I have ever seen! I will go back next year to try to find one like the one Zach caught in this video!

    Back in the '70's I used to fish at a golf course in Southern California and actually caught a 4 1/2 lb sun fish while fishing largemouth bass. The '70's were so much fun. No politics, no cell phones, no drama. Be safe all...

    I bet you would absolutely tear em up crickets on a slip float. That's what we use for big gills round here. And all the local bait shops have been getting giant crickets lately if you want them. Never used to be sold by size but they are now. Maybe their coming from all the new cricket farms that have popped up since they want us to eat crickets now😲.

    Lake Havasu is one of my favorite places to fish. You should go fish rainbow pools in Groveland California right outside Yosemite. The biggest and prettiest Native rainbow trout you will ever see. You have to do a 20-minute hike but it's so worth it. I travel there from Texas every year because it's that incredible. I fish behind the old sawmill. above rainbow pools. Dig a hole right on the bank and use the native live worms.
