California and Arizona trip pictures

[JUNGLEJIM1]

Been home over a week and finally getting around to posting some pictures. We fished Perris, Vail lake and Lake Havasu. Bluegill at Perris, Bass and crappie at Vail and the Redear and smallmouth at Havasu made it a great trip. Caught 4lb. 9oz redear on a live crawfish. Might have weighed more if we would have weighed it right away but still really happy with it. I'll put some pics up now and add more later.

awesome fish JJ, glad you had a good trip. But then how could it be bad visiting with LH?

Sonny is a great host. I had never seen the ocean before and he drove to San Diego so I could see it. Walked out on fishing pier and watched them fish and surf, even saw some sea lions but they were too far out for pictures. This was my fifth year going out there and it was by far the best trip ever. Thanks Sonny !!!!! View attachment 8View attachment 9View attachment 1 Last picture is Mexico. Probably would have gone there too but didn't have a passport.

Great pics!!!!!! Are you getting the big one mounted.

 

[JUNGLEJIM1]

I'm having it mounted by a guy in California who's mounted quite a few of these. Don't think I'll ever catch one bigger. Back to reality here catching 8-9 inch redears. Lot's of fun but not like Havasu. Definitely want to get back out there next year during the prespawn.
