Measure em and I hit the water plenty early. Trying to get this riggin thing figured out. First fish in the boat and a nice one right away. Then dink dink dink, moved around nothing then a small mouth, then a large mouth, ended up with one real nice fish and 4 just above 9" guess we should have headed for the docks hard to complain about a great day of fishn with a best friend. Wish we had caught more but we have been out and caught less so great day on the water.
