Do you ever regret fishing for bass when the bluegill are biting? Today on Realistic Fishing, I begin by fishing for bass, or whatever might bight a 2 inch jerkbait. After not catching anything, I switch to one of my favorite lures, the 1 inch gulp minnow. I catch some jumbo bluegill out beyond the submerged trees. The fish are out a bit deep than I expected. After catching a bunch of big bluegill I decide to try the bass fishing again with a NED Rig. After 25 minutes, I don’t even get a bite. Sometimes I regret fishing for bass when I know I can catch more bluegill. #realistic #fishing

Great video keep up the great work buddy
Went fishing with my dad today and caught a 7 inch bluegill on a 1/2 ounce megabass vision 110. The first thought I had was I wonder what Alex of Realistic Fishing would say?
thank you for more fishing like it is
If you have never fly-fish'd before catching bluegill with a 3wt is a great time
You're working the bait to fast. As soon as the first cold front comes thru the fish get really slow
Quality bluegills. You definitely wouldn't have gone hungry. And that's realistic.
Great catches brother, thanks for keeping it realistic!
Awesome looking bluegills
There's nothing like a great panfish fight. God bless Alex.
That’s all that was biting several weeks ago. Even that went away. Even the catfish are sleeping. Was 36F this morning. Cool that you mention the temperature of the fish. Nice gills.
Good video Alex,
Can you put putting bait on your hook? Why don't you show that instead of make her guessing game out of it?
Love catching bluegill! They are always feisty!
Gulp minnows always a good choice, as any sport fish will hit ‘em !
Your videos always brighten my day. Thank you.
Nice gills!
Good looking bluegill there Alex!!! The wind has been rough in our area the past few days hasn't it!!?? Yikes

Well you never know how the bite will be. That is a tuff call for sure which way to fish. Thanks Alex I would fish for bass also. KIR.
Realistic Fishing time. Yay!
Same luck here. Zero bass bites. Of course soon as I switch over to a gulp, the wind blows 20mph in my face. Glad you were able to find some out there. KIR
Nice bluegills, Alex
The Tao of fishing – go with what's given. If that's jumbo bluegill, then that's A-OK. People have said that you shouldn't leave fish to find fish. There's wisdom in that. Stay with the hot bite.
Bluegills definitely hitting ! Realistic all the way!
Bummer about the bass, really nice gills though!
Howdy Alex, thank you for the grind. Keep it Realistic.
Sup Alex, when bass ect aren't biting, bluegill and panfish make the day, hate when people put it down, everyone started fishing catching them
, that's realistic, tyvm tc 
Great fishing. If one fish isn't biting switch up your bait.
Not being satisfied with the size of fish you're catching and wanting bigger is very Realistic! Thanks for the video. KiR!!!
Some great blue gills
This was exactly how I started my morning. Went out, meant to spend half the time bass fishing and the other half fishing with a tenkara rod for smaller fish. I got caught in the chase and accidentally spent pretty much the whole time just not catching bass. Super disappointed lol I switched to tenkara at the very end and redeemed myself a bit with one gorgeous bluegill with the prettiest color on its belly. Still, I should’ve switched out earlier instead of chasing bass that didn’t seem to be there in the first place.
When I'm getting frustrated pike fishing, I'll whip out the ultralight to catch panfish. Nothing better
Bluegill may be an under rated fish but they sure are fun to catch. And very tasty too. Every so often I'll keep a few for a shore lunch. They don't come any fresher. Thanks for the video Alex.
Nah I fish for everything. I carry 3 rods. One for pan fish one for bass and one for catfish. It does get kinda annoying at times but im determined to catch at least one fish.
Nice bluegills! Great fun on light tackle. All u can do is try, would have been nice if u would have caught some bass. Next time.
Texas rigged worm has been doing it for me here lately.
Managed to catch a good size cat today, probably 6-7 lbs, and a good size bass right after that.
