Well, my son talked me into going out the weekend of the 4th of July and trying our luck in our secret spot on the Verdigris river. WOW!!! The absolute biggest blues I have ever seen! We caught two that were around 70 pounds! Had our 150 pound test dropline snapped, and also had a 2/0 stainless steel hook straightened out! If someone is wanting to catch some big blues, the Verdigris river is holding some good ones right now!!!
