Sounds like the vacation was more than productive. Glad to hear ya had fun. That one you saw sounds like it will blast a shad if you put it in front of them, hopefully a hand tied one. Gotta let us know if you get that bad boy.

I'll think I'll pack my suitcase when you start talking about 5 pound crappie. The biggest crappie I ever caught was a little over 2 pounds in the snake River.
