We turned back the biggest ones. We turned back 1-38 lb, 1-32 lb, 4-26 lb, and 8-20 lb fish for a grand total of 334# turned back and we ran them once a day for two days(had 10 jugs the second day) and pulled them. We could only run the jugs in groups of five because the livewell on the boat would be full. I was tired of cleaning fish. I'll try to get a pic or two from my friends wife. We cleaned fish one night from 7:30 til 12:30. The friends and relatives showed up AFTER the cleaning was done.

Great bunch of fish 4 u guys!

They were running in about 16' depth, 5' off the bottom. We used cut shad and had a real hard time getting them. Try the farthest ends of coves for the shad.
