Tim Duke is a legend here in utah. I have never meet him here face to face but I have been fishing utah since it's my home state for close to 34 years. And I have heard allot about him.
@@hardcorefishinginc194 good stuff. Seen your white bass video and walleye at Utah lake with KSL outdoors. And I know you travel all over to catch different fish. I love Utah and the fishing but I do miss catching big blue cats and flatheads when I was stationed at places that had them when I was in the army. Happy fishing, much respect.
I love fishing Havasu. One of my fav places on the planet. I have never tied into one of the 5+ lb sunfish but caught many over 3. Love smallie fishing there too.
I want to put this out there to all fishermen young and old..to everyone..and will probably make a video..DO NOT be discouraged about fish like these..i have been fishing for 40 years..I call myself the sunfish assassin..you can only catch the biggest fish wherever you fish...that is what I do. Multi species and still I watch Ty and question myself..don't if you are catching the big ones in any place you fish You are doing the same thing as Ty..
We used to go to this farm pond,the Gills were so big we would call them Frankengill's,their foreheads had huge frame bumps at top of their heads.. They were freaks,water was do dark even the Calico's were dark toned and jumbo...19inch Calico swimming there.. We would fillet and dump in canned evaporated milk with potato ,onion,chives...
Even though I fish for bass the sunfish are always in my sights and so much fun to catch. I have been catching them on top water lately on the popper. Great video Ty
A very down to earth friendly accessible channel. A real nice guide. Recommended for anyone interested in learning more about fishing locations and techniques. ☘👍
@@TyPigPatrol hard to believe there will be more of it. These sunfish you are catching are absolute studs. And here I thought catching a 10" gill up here in Wisconsin was a monster! Just unbelievable what Lake Havasu has to offer.
I remember,as a kid, going to lake havasu! Saw the london bridge and caught some giant catfish! Also, remember how hot it was😱 Those were some monster pan fish! I would love to catch a few of them👍
Oh my gosh. Best footage ever. I am truly more of a fish hunter than a fisherman. I really hiking in the high sierras or fishing off a dock to experience the whole process. Thanks!
Oh yeah Ty those are some monsters I love to hear that drag move and I have caught some 2 pound bluegills in my time that looks like a lot of fun love the channel keep up the great work👍👍👍
New subscriber man you're channel is very underrated deserves way more subscribers keep up the great content respect from Scotland 🏴🏴🏴
Holy cow! I just can’t imagine having to use a net on a sunfish! Those things looked more like footballs! Your sunfish are bigger than my bass and reds!
Okay I can add Lake Havasu to my bucket list. I goes right next to Grenada for crappie. Hearing shellcrackers pull drag is music to my hear. Those were some true tanks.
I’m new to your channel, and I ABSOLUTELY love your content!! You are the only fisherman that I follow because your videos are just so different from others and you always get the biggins no matter what! I love the out of the box locations that you would never think to go.. definitely keeps me coming back!! Thank you Ty!!
@@TyPigPatrol you should check out our Susquehanna river in PA if you haven’t already! Would be amazing to see you pull a 100lb flathead out of there!! Thank you for the reply!!
Also Ty, if you’re still there, I always seemed to get them to bite better on beds by drop shotting the worm with a 3/16 oz drop shot weight rather than putting the weight above the hook. Might give that a try.
Awesome , I have one mounted that was 2 1/4 lbs I caught out of my friends pond. Those things can pull like no other panfish I ever caught. I wish you would put them on a scale so we can see how heavy they are.
Awesome...on my bucket list too....here in Alabama we call those fish Shell Crackers. Fun to catch and yes put up a fight. Can't imagine a 2-3 pound slabber. Maybe one day.
Growing up in the South we had specific names for "Pan fish". In his opening statement it was mentioned that "pan fish" were considered to be either "Sunfish" or "Crappie"'. Where I grew up "Sunfish" are considered "Bream". Crappie are up to 4-5 lbs are considered "Slab Crappie". Believe me when they are considered cooked that they taste nothing close to the same. Thought I would let you know. As a kid we fished at Tunica Cutoff. It was a lake fed by the waters of the Mississippi River. Believe me some days the fish were huge. Great eating.
Old shell crackers!! Plenty in that 1 -3 lb range where im at too! Nightcrawler and a ultralight and the babies love it!! They also make great live bait for the catfish in that 1 lb range!
@@TyPigPatrol ur welcome man. Also the red ear sunfish here where i live dont get nowhere that size. But boy it would be nice to cat h some like that tho
These aren't even the big ones! Can't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣 Sunfish from another planet!!! It's hard to believe anything else survives in those waters. Absolute jaw dropper. Thanks Ty 😵💫😱👊
@@TyPigPatrol Love your videos, you seem to be about one of the most down-to-earth and REAL you tubers out there. Not just putting on some fake personality or some other BS just for likes... So thank you, and Rock on.
Wow 200K. Congrats Ty! Love the big bluegills and sunfish, they fight like crazy. Way better than hooking into that tire I saw sitting down by those beds! 😂
Hell yes! Caught my biggest 2 yesterday down here in West Texas. They are fun to snag for catch and release and love red worm. Mine were nothing near those slabs 😂
Love a good fish tail but if these get you excited I can’t imagine what you would do with snook, tarpon, dolphin or sailfish. Got ask what your tackle is 4lb test? Ultralight rods?
Here n CNRL VA we call them Bream & 4 alot guys like myself it's very likely your very first fish hooked & catching any size just takes u back 2 those summer days as a Lil guy & now watching the boys do the same & as excited as u with those monsters with their 4'-7' is indescribably... AWESOME VID MAN
Can you tell me the make and model of that boat? I am retiring in a few weeks and will be looking for a good all-species boat. I like what I see in Tim's boat.
I really love your channel. Just pure fishing and no filler. It's beautiful
No filler on my channel either
Thank you! I appreciate that!
@@TyPigPatrol If you're fishing for "3 pounders" can you please bring a scale next time?

You should send him one so he doesn't forget next time 😑😵✌️

haha thanks for watching!
Dude is that the Prometheus head thing
@@cole8792 Yes
Holy Red Ear TY...that thing is truly the definition of "TANK", what a specimen...Nice catch man!
Thanks brother, sure made my day!
Dippin’ crawlers for giant sunfish.......with two nice people not named “Dood”. How fun is that! Thanks for the cool video. Those fish were awesome!
hahahhaa thanks Sir!
@@TyPigPatrol yessir
Man someone should take some of those panfish and start using those breeds and stock some lakes and ponds. Huge genetics
All shell cracker- sunfish get that big and bigger ! I catch hundreds a year
@@waylonswaycraps where do you catch them
@@chadrobert4399 in Mobile Alabama .Mostly on the Causeway
@@waylonswaycraps I'm in mobile too. They're some good ones here

Well the world record shellcracker was just caught from that lake a few months ago. It was over 6lbs.
What lake is it?

Been waiting for this one! Glad you got to experience some of the monsters here in Havasu.

When your pan isn’t big enough for the panfish…
Kinda like a ferris wheel. Weeeee!? Over the top. Best hybrids I ever seen.Thanks for taking me fishing. ☮️ HTGDE.

Congrats on reaching 200K. Great accomplishment Ty. Big sunfish, bro. That’s insane Ty. First time I’m seeing a sunfish pull drag.
Thank you Adrian! hope all is well up north!
Man , this guy is the best at finding big fish !
Absolute brutes! That’s on my bucket list for sure!
Thanks North star!
I love it. I've never caught a pan fish that took my drag. Great video

I honestly don’t know of ANYBODY ELSE ON TH-cam who would do this. Great Video!👍🏻👍🏻✌🏼✌🏼
Pound for pound big sunfish have to be the strongest fighting fish in North America. Imagine fighting those things on a 3 or 4 weight fly rod.
agree, man, they would absolutely bend over a fly rod!
I’ve always said man imagine if bluegill were the size of bass be like freshwater permit
Wow wow wow. What a blast that would be to catch a 3lb sun fish. Caught a few big blue gills what a fight on light tackle.
Thanks Charlie! It really was some of the most fun fishing I've ever done!
Also Ty, if you’re still there, I always seemed to get them to bite better on beds by drop shotting the worm with a 3/16 oz drop shot weight rather than putting the weight above the hook. Might give that a try.
yeah you are right, makes sense. we caught most of ours weightless.
@@TyPigPatrol with the drop shot you can keep it in their bed longer and make them mad!
Beautiful fish. Thanks for sharing brother!! 👍🏽👊🏽✊🏽😊💯
Thanks Dallas!

Thanks man, tons more coming!
I live in Vegas. Fished Havasu a few times this year. Caught a nice bass. Didn't know they grew panfish that big! Take me with you next time! HA!
Phenomenal job man thanks and keep pushing with 🙏🏾😷
I’ve lost count of how many times “that’s what she said” was spoken out loud by me during this video. Great fishing tho keep it up.
I hate you
@@brodieanderson6511 I agree brodie
😂😂😂
hahaha sounds about right1
Keep it up ? TWSS
Best fighting fish for the size . Try out reelfoot lake Tn sometime it’s got some slabs .
I second that I live 45 mins away across the river in Missouri. It's my favorite lake and it's a joy to ride around too.
Beautiful specimen fish.
Well worth the trip.
for sure, thanks Duncan!
I've been waiting on this one 👍🏾
Plenty more to come!
That is so cool! The water clarity is insane, awesome vids as always ty!
Thank you Joshua!!!!1
Yeah man! 😆 That water looks beautiful, absolutely crystal clear. Well done on those fish! I need to get my rods out again, it's been far too long.
Thanks brother! it was such a blast!
Awesome...on my bucket list too....here in Alabama we call those fish Shell Crackers. Fun to catch and yes put up a fight. Can't imagine a 2-3 pound slabber. Maybe one day.

Are these truly red ears or are they hybrids (bluegill and red ear cross)?
They are pure redears.
So rad hahah sunfish pulling drag
Thanks man it was such a blast!
Haven't seen any that size since I was a kid. That's awesome fishin
That’s like catching sheepshead but harder fighter. It’s amazing!
yes! and fewer teeth haha !
Realy cool fishing and awesome guides 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Best freshwater fish out there 😋👌🙌

Wow, all of those were tanks! Really impressive.
I could sure eat some of those, whole fried with French fries and a big cold drink. Nice video with large sunfish. 👌
As always classic fishing, Peace and Love.
This is my favorite fishing channel. My wife is in labor right now. Bye
I fish a micro cast reel and pole when I'm pan fishing. Them bucket lid size gills and sunnys will bend the pole over into a circle
yes, that is the only way to do it!
