I usually use those for bait but big ones like that are pretty darn good eating.

We’re in good shape here insofar as the fishing is going. Shad are finally on the bank and the blues are coming up on the flats in the evenings chasing them. Been pretty good fishing for them the last two nights. Even been getting a bonus saugeye here and there on catfish rigs.

Crappie have been weird this year but my wife caught a 17 1/4” that weighed a shade over 3lb last weekend.

I’m dragging the boat out to pull plugs for Saugeye after work today if the wind doesn’t come up too bad.
