- Back to the Forbay for some stripers and bass with Pia/PXfishing. Hit the jackpot and found some monster sized redear sunfish(shellcrackers). Ran out of worms but landed 18 giants. This is Pia/PXFishing day with me • -O'neil Forebay- "BIG...

We need another vid like this 😂
Very nice Shellctakers, what area was it again you said in your intro. I definitely want to come fish that area. Those Shellctakers make Florida Shellctakers look small.
Didn't know that that lake has redear(shell cracker)
How are you still there at night and they didn’t kick you out? They close the. Lake down 15 min before dark? Did you find a spot where they could not see you ?
Is this at the small lake or los Banos lake?
I'm 68 years old, I have been fishing since I was 8, never seen redear that big, awesome day fishing.
DT ..... spend $6 for 350 yards of Trout Magnet SOS line. I tried it for the first time back in August. They are fanatic Trout guys fishing the White River in Arkansas. Only make #2 #4 #6 pound test. Caught a 14-16 pound Striper on #6 test the first week. Casts so well i only fish it in open water. Knot strength & abrasion resistance are fine :)
Man where yall at
Huge redear gills, that is a awesome day of fishing , I get a few that size from Aquaduct...only in spring or late winter. Best fishing there is at this size and I use 4lb. Test sunline.
What kayak do you have?
That’s insane man. Absolute Units!
That’s insane!!! I’ve heard of tiddy bream but those are truly monsters.
Some big Talapia you got there. Hmong New Year coming soon
This is one the funnest fishing videos I’ve ever watched
When it so fire 🔥 you gotta call game warden and report on Dthao 😂
Love you guys
I live in Los Banos and would love to see you around one day! youre best fisherman in the CV hands down!
No shellcrackers here in Washington but if there were and I could catch them that size, I would never fish for bass lol!
Ive caught my pb crappie from lake washington in the spring (mid may) i thought it was a bass!
Can i join you
Wow, i never see big mama bluegill, nice catch, it's om 152 hwy? Thanks
Yes 152
Thanks for the shout out
Where are they fishing at.
I wish they would stock the redear sunfish in Wisconsin... ! !
Why keep all of them?
Dang big'ol redears! Imagine during the spawn🤯
How deep is the water you catch those redears and is there structure or grass or weed?
It’s grass. I’m fishing a deeper pocket that’s probably 7-8ft
What a day! That's a whole lot. Closer to the 50 lb then 30. Great job Damian! 🤙
Great video. The way you hold them like a bass that's how you know them shellcrackers are trophies. We need more pia & Damian content. GREAT DUO 💪😎
Wow! I've been fishing on that lake over 20 years plus...I didn't even know there's blue gills in there. Nice catch!
Me too. Ive always gone there for stripers.
They are just really hard to find. But when you do find them, they are all big
Damn them big bluegills has been a dream of mine to catch on ultralight setup. Ever try fishing them using jigs?
Dang Damian! Those are some toads! Nice job! 😯🤙🏽
Are used to target them out there back in the day with my Kik boat
where is ai bro
Why you need so much fish this why the salmon almost gone
Big FISH BRO!!
There it is 😆
holy shit
What kind of hooks
bruh those are some GIANTS REDEARS....
What kind of glide? SG? If you don't mind me asking...
It’s a savage gear
What lake is that?
San Luis o’niel forbay
Are you just drop shotting the worms?😊
ha i know exactly where u at lol. love camping and fishing there. family dont like it cause bunch of rattle snakes all over the place. last year was last time i went, there was 3 little ones and the adult slithering around the campsites. sister ran over one there too.
Man, I’m not a fan of snakes lol. Campgrounds are nice though
Fish laab bro
Nice fish! Did you catch these in october?
All Hmong look alike lol short and stout
Dang, that some biggin. Wish we have that size in mn.
Looks like it would be a blast on a fly rod!
They were me out with my 4wt
Save some for all of us! lmao
Which lake is this?
Bro he says it in the beginning of the video
Yea bro
DUDE …. That was KRAZY 👊👍🎣🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳. your Bro was like 😢🤬🤬 musta been the HOOK. LoL. LoL !! BTW what were the hooks you were using ??
I was just using size 2-4 mosquito hooks
Imagine catching them on a ultralight BFS set up 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍
Nice! What lb line you use?
6 lb. Floro just finished vid
Wow
One of my favorite fish to target. It peels drag on light spinning setup.
They fight harder than the bass. I man handled the bass back in with the spinning rod but these redears just don’t give up lol
Damm never new they get that big in cali
Oh, we got some monster panfish here in Cali too
@@Waga8529 ima need a boat
This lake, usually everyone fish stripers only that’s why sunfish and other fish can get really big.
@@TimVang0916 Yup
Nice fish!
Mr. Damian . . . Never heard of or ever seen a "Redear" (Shellcracker). Had I accidentally caught one of those fish, I would have thought I caught the "mother" of all Bluegills 🤣. Loved how you didn't want to immediately put your fish in the cooler, proceeded to rebait your hook, cast out, and proceeded to catch another until you're netting another one with two still in the net 😂. The fun was catching them, the work began when cleaning all those Redears and Striper, and the reward was eating your catch. I mentioned this in one of your "soaking bait" vids, but would love to see a "clean and cook" vid. Hope your catch ate well for your family and freinds and another enjoyed video.
I don’t eat fish but man they were a pain to clean. I put in all that work cleaning them so had to eat a few. They were really good. A lot of meat for a panfish lol
The pros fishing together!!🔥🔥
🔥 those guys pull hard
Those are so fun to catch and taste great. Awesome job.
My home lake is Havasu and we have the world record redear here. If you're ever out this way hit me up.
I agree with you. Havasu has some giants.
I’ve always seen pictures of them from Havasu or someone catches a monster redear during a tournament up there. Pretty insane
What's your setup for those?
6’10 phoenix maxim paired with a daiwa tatula 2000. 6lb Pline tactical, size 2-4 masquito hook with a red worm
Some of the tastiest fish I ever had
Those are some hard fighting bullgills.
For once the Forebay was slick calm
Which for fore bay? Oroville?
Right, every other time I’m there it’s a freakin storm out there lol
