Saw a gill net in a sporting goods store in the late 80s that had been dragged up on KY Lake. It was located on one of the most productive sauger and white bass ledges at the time. The net had baits that were brand new to almost rotted away. The guys in the store had inventoried the baits and came to a figure of $600 worth of cranks. This was in the era that Rebel Wee Rs were less than $3 and Bagley's Balsa were less than $5. I know many of those baits were ones I had left on the bottom.

BTW, I just put in a call to the Marshall County F&W CO asking if the net was supposed to be gone by now. I'll post up his reply when he calls back.
