There were some really big hybrids that liked shallow-running cranks, when retrieved with a pull-stop retrieve. There were a lot of 15-16 pound fish, with the biggest being 18.5 pounds. Most of that fishing was done in the summer, but I haven't done it since about ten years ago, due to spending my summers in Montana, helping my brother with his haying operations and fishing for trout.
My boys used to night fish for the walleyes, with large Rapalas. Many times, they would come back with just the Rapalas' wire frames and a few pieces of wood.
How big gun do you guys mount on them float tubes to fish Hefner a Night
