- In this video, I head to legendary Richmond Mill lake to fish with the King Fisher Society. This 120 acre lake is one of the most well managed waters in the United States!

The lake is full of big largemouth bass, but is also famous for its massive bluegill!
I am there to try to break my Personal Best Bluegill....and I do. Again, and again, and again.

I target sunfish a lot. I know largemouth, spotted bass and smallmouth are in the sunfish family....but I'm talking about the panfish variety of sunfish. My wife caught the biggest one I've ever seen (1.3lbs and just over 12" long). The girth on the fish in your video is almost unbelievable! Honestly, I'd rather catch a few of these hogs in your video than to fish all day and only come up with an 8lb largemouth. When large gills get sideways, they are little beasts. Really enjoyed this video. I wish more people would do good quality sunfish videos. I regularly catch sunfish in the 9-10" range and they are always a blast. I can't even begin to imagine how much fun this must have been!
I agree with you wholeheartedly! They are very under appreciated. Lets be honest, if a bluegill got to be as big as a 6 lb bass, the bluegill would destroy the bass when it comes to fighting! I am used to catching the 8-9 inchers and being pleased with that, so this was a real treat for me. And I had the choice to fish for big bass or big bluegill here...I guess its obvious what option I chose. I remember casting to some structure, feeling the bite, setting the hook into a 5 lb bass and actually being disappointed about the fact it was taking time away from the bluegill fishing.
Well, I'm glad you made the choice you did! These mutant gills are something else

Brandon Alt I subscribed to your channel. I watched your videos. Why did you stop doing them? If you want to get it going again, take a look at my channel. I have some videos that are geared towards people who are CZcams video makers and I try to do things on a budget. Maybe it would help you get going again? DIY fishing related stuff is my main focus but I do some fishing videos too.

I live in Memphis TN. I have a place like this I go to for 2 pound plus bluegill. It's an old River run chute off the Mississippi River near Tunica Mississippi. It's actually called Tunica cutoff. When the River reaches flood stage here in Memphis in the Spring it will back into the cutoff. It keeps the fishing source loaded with the nutrients that make for huge fish.
For a fishing enthusiast this is one of the finest channels on CZcams.
I enjoyed watching you handle the fish with care and returning them back to their habitat unharmed. Your comment that it was an honor to catch the fish. Didn't go unnoticed. I shared this on FB because you really did a good job.
You know it’s serious when he’s using a landing net for bluegill
Another reason isn’t because there big it’s because of how hard it is to get a truly solid hook set with their tiny moths
Tarrant hardware store, Tarrant Ala., 4lb 11oz. bluegill from Lake Ketona Ala. in the 50's mounted on wall for years and years.
@@mason.n3259go to Michigan then. I’m in Michigan and most my fish where blue Gail’s. I used small worm pieces and small shrimp pieces they like shrimp.
Wow! way beyond the size I thought they could get! Amazing fishing.
Thanks for checking it out Travis!
He’s huge Ty ! Wow -Another awesome day fishing with Ty !
Awesome fishing adventure. Thanks for taking us along.
15:02 I feel like he about to say Meep.
Lake meridian in meridian tx is full of huge red ear. Awesome fishing there.
This is exactly the video I was looking for ! Thank You so much !!
Looks like loads of fun. Nice video,finally saw what you were using for bait. Thank you for sharing this great stuff!
Best bluegill video ever! I'm from Michigan and I dream of catching one of that quality some day. Your enthusiasm along with some "toad gilly's" had me...well...wanting to get out there!
Great to hear that, Jim, it makes my day knowing my video wanted to get you on the water!
Come to Florida
To hear your drag start singing on that first big bluegill was something I've never heard before :) dang those are some true brutes!
haha thats about when I freaked out! Thanks for watching William!
Your style of video presentation is very similar to what I do on FishTales. Looking forward to more and to watch your youtube channel grow!
It's called having your drag set too low
its called 4 lb line, my friend!
yeah that's because the are farmed fish
Thanks for the video upload. Bluegill the size of actual frying pans. Loving it!
Enjoying your videos alot.... Those gillies your catching are beautiful fish............ and slabs !!!
The size of these bluegills is insane. I'm in my 60s and have never seen anything in this size and weight range anywhere for bluegills. "Oh my mercy!" I would love to fish with you and your dad.
I've fished for bluegill/sunfish for 55 years. I've never seen slabs that big.
Thanks for watching Sir!!
Georgia giants look em up
Love your videos,thanks.
Spectacular video. Immediately goes on my bucket list.
I've never seen a bluegill even close to that size. Great video
Wow! They're like dinner plates with tails... Awesome stuff bud 🤙
haha that's a good description man, thanks for checking it out!
TWISTED NRG sub to my channel
Now thats funny!
we call them titty in N.C. , you have to hold them against your titty to take the hook out lol
As a boy12 yrs. Old setting on the banks of my favorite lake all by myself doing what I love FISHING ,when hooked a large heavy fish fighting hard swimming down to to bottom and doing everything to stay there.mud swirling line real and today straining as I was to . I after a 5 min. Struggle got sight of it covered with mud I thought it was a carp ! Taking out the water and washing it off , holy sh*t it's a blue Gill at least 18" long and about 4lbs caught in the moment near in tears my catch had been witnessed two pairs of fishermen on the banks 75 yds across from me ...screaming save it ...trophy one guy screams world record ! Looking at this miracle in my hands I could not think of it as a stiff stuffed prize. It's blue gold purple metallic scales had to live to make more memories of wonder for the next wild eyed boy with a fishing story to tell .
Wow! I have never seen a 2 pound bluegill or a bluegill you nee d a net for. Awsome!
I've never even seen bluegill this big! I'm so jealous 😭!!!
U
Wow I haven't seen fish like that for a long time. But great lake thanks for sharing them beast good day and God bless you
Much appreciated, Thanks for watching Danny!
Fantastic bluegill fishing really nice fish

I appreciate that Tony, thanks a bunch man!
Awesome video thanks for sharing, from SW Michigan.

GOOD GOD, those fish were BEASTS!!!!! Absolute monsters!
Thanks for watching Tim!!!
Great vid. My ultralight would fall in love with that lake.
haha about the most fun ive ever had, for sure!
That was awsome!!
Nice 👌. Stumpknocker bluegill!
WOW Monsters!!! Now take the damn plastic off that cork! LOL!!!
Thanks for watching Joey!
I'm gonna have to get out of Northern Illinois and go visit my brother's in Waxhaw N. Carolina. I wanna catch sum of those Beast Bluegills. 👍👍 Great video thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Kevin!!
Love the passion you show during these videos. To one fisherman to another I can tell it's genuine passion for this sport. Subbed! Happy holidays bro!
Thank you Bryan! im really happy to hear that the passion comes through loud and clear! happy holidays to you as well, and thanks for the support!
Awesome vid. Can easily see the appreciation of the fish with the process of how you put them back in the water. Much respect
🙏🙏 very tired of all the comments about why I didn’t eat them....thanks for noting the release!
Pre-dawn with the birds singing... My favorite time of the day while fishing. I used to catch 2 pound bluegills out of Suches Lake in northern Georgia. Just like these in the video. It's worth the trip from anywhere within 500 miles just to drive for a day to fish there.
You never know how much you like the birds till winter rolls around
I aint never seen bluegills that big before and u caught 4 of them! crazy!
It was a crazy place!!! Thanks for watching!!
I really enjoy this video!!! This would be a dream to catch any of these !!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
I appreciate you watching!! 👊🙏
Some big bluegills ..congratulations
I love those "eh I did that" moments that work out, the universe has your back. :)
👊🙏
During last summer I was at a friends lakehouse and I sat in freezing cold water and waited for three hours and netted two bluegill one of them (probably the female) was around 1.4 lbs and 13.5 inches and the male was around a pound and just over 12 inches. What an amazing time, im tired of people trashing bluegill they are truly amazing fish
Yah great video sunfish are a blast to catch they fight harder than most for their size keep up great videos
Crazy big fish. Amazing video
Much appreciated, Melissa!
Nice to see you putting them back!
I wouldn't dream of keeping one of those monsters!
It's an expensive pay lake, man... All fishing is catch and release only.
Ty PigPatrol I guess that was fiberglass in the opening of your video eh?
The rod? It was a very cheap 4 piece graphite, actually!
I am not sure I even remember the last time that I was watching a youtube video and heard the "drag" on a reel. Nice to know I am not the only one that enjoys the fight as well as the fish. So many people I see, set the hook like they are trying to pull a rusty nail through rhino hide, and then slingshot it up on the bank or the boat like they think they are in a big money tournament. Those are some amazing fish you are catching there. My biggest bluegill is half the weight of the ones that you were catching there. Gotta find me a spot like that!
haha that made me laugh out loud man! a rusty nail through a rhino hide! But in all seriousness, I have a soft spot for fighting hard fighting fish on light line. fighting these bluegill on 4 pound test is a huge adrenaline rush for me! Good to know there are others who appreciate it just the same!
saintsfisherman 😂😂😂
I thought the same thing today when fishing for bass on a paddletail swimbait-- I nice 6 lb channel cat (big for my pond) hit it on my medium light action rod spooled with 6lb test. Now I remember why I got into the sport of fishing. It's all for the fight!
you said it best man! when that fish is pulling, and you have no idea what It is....something gets in your veins thats better than any drug!
sainstfisherman, you must not catch many big bass, otherwise you would know why some of the CZcams fishermen set the hook so hard. When you are fishing in lakes with potential 10+ pounders, you don't mess around while setting the hook. It only looks ridiculous when they bring up a 2 pounder, but they have no idea what size fish is hitting that hook when they go to set it, so better safe than sorry. Now, many lakes simply don't produce anything much over 4lbs, so those lakes you can back off a little on the hook set.
Nice gills! That hybrid mount is cool too! My uncle and i used to fly fish with these peety poppers and crush big green eared sunfish! The green eared got teeth too, little crawfish crushers! Fishing the Hudson river N.Y. We never even knew they were their before or would bite like that. They were tons of fun fish for. Small rocky island with just a little current near a bridge. Beautiful color too clean! Top water gills who knew? Lol... Fish on!
I am so jealous right now.awesome stuff
Wow! Very impressive! Lucked up by chance on lake Hartwell in upstate SC and got into giants like these with crickets about 15 deep, I could not believe how massive and how hard they fought! 5 ft ultralight rods with 4lb test and listened to the reels screaming for mercy! Best part of all was how great these guys taste! Best freshwater fish on the planet to eat! Tarter sauce me please!!!
Speaking of good 'Ol South Carolina, the place I mentioned is between Columbia and Sumter on Arnold Rd.
Right in front of the McIntire Air National Guard base off of highway 378. It's the first pond on the right.
Our home burned down on December 13, 1963 (Friday 13th) and I have yet to see the 'Gills compared to the sizes of those Big Boy's.
This looked pretty exciting, until i went to the website. The king fisher whatever socitey owns yhe entire 120 acre lake which is stocked and fed, and it costs 600$ a day to fish. Might as well hunt deer inside a tall fence just for the rack. Looks like fun for sure, but kinda pricey for the blue collar workin man.
Big Shue GOT THAT SHIT RIGHT!!!!!
That's sad a 10yld!!!
I would've been glad to him fish in my pond along as his parents were okay with that.
Ronald Moorer , should snuck back later that night and set his house on fire
Is it really $600 a day? There are guys out there all around in every one of our cities that can easily afford this, but even paying $60 for a day of fishing is a long stretch for most of us. The money is concentrated in a top 1% or less for they over pay themselves as executives over seeing everything with full control over money in business.
Yeah, this shit is for big dollar workaholics who only get a few times off a year. Might as well spend that time catching fish than waste it getting nothing at the shitty public lakes in most states. For these types of people, it's simply more affordable. The site even says you can't use your own tackle, they supply all gear. So, yeah... perfect for the corporate big wig with money and little time on their hands.
Awesome! Nice axis deer too!
Outstanding!!!
omG bro , that was freaki g awesome man .now i want go there would be awesome catching those monsters.
Thanks brother, I lost my mind, it was so much fun!
Dude
The way this dude talks after he hooks up 🤣😂 halrious
It’s super serious bro 😂😂
i loved this video. Watching you release MONSTER blue gill was well worth it. You didn't just toss them back, you nurtured them back. Gotta love that! I subbed for that.
I really appreciate the comment! thank you so much! I like to take the time to make sure the bigger ones are all set before they head back down to the depths!
Very nice... I do love it
Those things are massive
They really are man...kinda scary big. the thickness....
What a giant ! Just subbed bacm
Thanks Miss, much appreciated!
Huge brim and bluegill are one of the finest fighting fish..I love it
Agreed, so much fun!
OMG BECKY, look at that bluegill 🐟!!! 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Love me some bluegill fishing, pound for pound the best around!
I'm with you on catching a 12 inch bull that's not hybrid.
I'm with you on this one for sure I have always said if bluegill regularly got up to even 4 or 5 pounds, people would be like what is a bass? Nothing fights any better.
Ya it had white tipped fins it a greeny
I've never seen or heard of the need to net bluegill, but geez oh mighty those are some monsters. My PB is around a pound but the ones you were catching were twice as big. It must feel like reeling in a hubcap.
These little buggers are really line shy too, so I was using 4 lb line, therefore I almost had to use a net to bring them in the boat! Thanks for watching Carl! a 1 pound gill is still a big gill no doubt!
TY PigPatrol: Ultra light is a lot more fun than horsing them. Great video.
I appreciate that, thanks! UL is the way to go, more sporting anyway!
Great video!
Wow, amazing and unreal. Big fish!!!
I can’t believe North Carolina has walleye. I would’ve thought it was too hot for them
Umm... there is walleye stocked in possum kingdom lake Texas...
They do very well in the southern Appalachian mountain lakes. Quite a few are self supportive where they have rivers long enough to support spawning. The climate up there is close to what you would find up in the Maryland or Ohio region. Small mouth are abundant and Ohio musky are native. Tiger musky are stocked in a few lakes and rivers but no northern pike native or introduced.
@Otis Dick lol You should see the big ones!
Caught a walleye at lake hartwell in South Carolina
@@kylesalazar9900 Are you sure it wasn't a Sauger or a saugeye? lol JK. Close enough to the same it doesn't matter.
Thank you for telling us where this was man that’s awesome I love seeing small species being massive
No problem, thank you very much for watching!
Nice video man love your videos keep up the good work and those bluegills we're huge
Great catches bro
Dude i caught one a little bit bigger than that the other day and i got a huge crowd surrounding me and it was insaneeee
this is the first time i've ever seen someone net a gill lol
Wow...could have had a GREAT FISH FRY..!! THANKS..💓
Good Thoughts.. in the first few minutes of this.. video were very well said. Good Video...
Giants brother WOW!!! Dropped a sub!
Thanks Maniac!
330 MaNiaC nice
Wow, what are you all feeding those fish around there? Good catch man.
Thank for the kind words man!
I lived in south Mississippi for 13/14 years met a fellow who let me fish his really big pond , he had styrofoam anchors about 2’ square with a 8 or 10” hole in the center,covered with rabbit wire , and would put a chicken on top of the wire to draw fly’s the fly larva would fall in , they attracted gills ,they were large .what a blast . Unusual baiting but it sure did produce excellent results
Awesome video! I grew up in Iowa fishing for a lot of bluegills - but never saw any nearly this size!!!
Thanks Cheetah!
When u said NC I said HELL YEAH! I’ve gotta go there some time!
Never heard someone so excited to hook bluegill. Maybe we should all be more excited to catch any fish no matter the species
Mitch Compton well that and he was probably excited because these were not the normal size bluegill
i remember when i was a child my grandfather catching bluegills this size on a regular basis. sadly this is not the case anylonger
Some super THICK bluegills! Damnit man!!!
Incredible!
That doesn’t surprise me bc I have caught the same sized gills
My dad caught one of these before, I thought these things were myth or not real but I can tell you, in person, 2 pound blue gill are gigantic.
They are other worldly! Truly one in a million!
Love your show
Thanks Wayne!
Very 🤫. Good work
I've caught bluegill on shad raps in NC man, they're predators here.
Thats wild, man! something about NC waters maybe? such a fun fish!
At $600 a day do they let you keep any to mount?
Cruzinon22s You don't need to keep a fish to mount it, just the length, girth, and a few high quality pictures will suffice for the taxidermist.
Cruzinon22s nope. Everything is catch and release there.
Cruzinon22s $600 a day to fish that lake he was fishin?
kushcrumbleshatter1990 yup look it up
Cruzinon22s damn i just took a look at their website, that's nuts.
Those were some monster Gill. Enjoyed the video for sure. Fish on!
Thanks Vance I appreciate it man!
Awesome Fish! I think I’d have to keep 5-6 of em.I bet they taste as good as Crappie!Great Show,&Keep em Coming!
Thank you!!
WOW!!! 10 star bluegill .however I must confess,I would have loved to filet those giants.
Thanks for watching Christopher!!
@Bradley Faucett fr
imagine these gills on a fly rod!
That would be a blast!
You should try it
Some dude ya that would be awesome
Matthew Jones that would be awesome
If you close your eyes it sounds like a ghay adult film🤣 this is my favorite fishing video by a long shot the commentary is amazing
I was just looking in the comments to see if I'm the only one who thought that lmao.
Absolutely love the video. You did a great job. Thank you for not using any profanity. Something that I can send to my grandkids to watch. Not too many out there text kid friendly. So thanks again keep up the great work. You make me want to go fishing right now. Stay safe and God bless
What a great comment, thanks for the kind words Bill!
That's the first time I've ever heard "YES A BLUEGILL" lmao
Thanks for watching man!
I would rather catch bluegill that size any day than bass. The fight is way better.
If I was fishing for 2lb bluegill....I would at least brought a set of scales.
yeah, I do not use my food scale much so it is in my fishing backpack. finally it will be worth what i paid for it : }
No scale no care ..right..
🤣😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂
My fishing friend irritates me. He always exaggerates the weight of his fish! He caught a large gill from my pond and tells everyone it weighed 3 pounds. It was a giant but really about 1 3/4 lbs at most. Oh how i wish i would have weighed it!
That's good eating right there my friend!!! But I love your channel my friend awesome!!! Good job!!
I would love to fish there! Awesome video!
