A BEAST! I tip my hat to the angler that can whip a fish like that on 2 lb line. That is truly impressive. A fight like that would probably give me a heart attack! I'm going to have to head west... Havisaw [sp?] and Perris are topping my wish list now! Thank you for sharing, and... you did have that mounted... right?

What a beast! I would surely make some kinda mess in my waders if I hooked into one of those! Two quesions...

1. Do you think it was the jig or the circket that did it?

2. What is it about Lake Perris?

Wow! I love how Perris produces such beautiful and big panfish
