Nice catch! Thanks for the detailed info. Might be nice to know what bait you used so other anglers can give it a try. Again thanks.

OK, We was using live shrimp, rigged on about a #2 straight hook.Sometimes I would use a split shot and sometimes not. Just depended on how fast the current was moving.

As you well know all that can turn around in one good fishing trip.If someone came up with say a big tarpon, gar,muskie or pike it would add on a lot.I don't think I am about to deplete the fish population.I am not catching near as many as I think I should.
