biggest stakebed i have ever helped build was 46 ft long 6 feet wide and used up 600 stakes. BUT where we put it you cant beat it. you can literally move up one side fish the end and turn around and come back down the other and just circle it. The most fish we have ever pulled off of it was a little less than 200 crappie in one day. We didnt keep that many obviously, but we caught that many.
