Only caught four, but they all were over 12" (the two largest were about 13.75"). Got back out Sunday a.m. with the regular rig for some trolling. They only bit till the sun got about to the tree tops, but we had 16 when we quit a 7:00a.m., smallest was 11", with most over 12" and four over 13". All in all not too bad, not a bunch of fish, but all pretty good quality size wise for the lake. It is a "dirty" (stained) lake, we were trolling 1/16 oz. leadheads, myself with a Galyan's pearl'blue with sparkle tail grub, my buddy with me on sunday was using pink/white berkley power nymphs. We trolled pretty slow, but I think the jigs were running pretty high, the active fish seemed to be outside the weeded breakline, 13'-16' deep water, fish suspended 3-5' down.
