I think their aggrevating myself. Especially when they are just a bunch of small ones. On a average they are around 6oz-1lb. I've seen them 2lbs and probably caught only three or four that size myself. We had a local here make the paper with a 3+ pounder. The record was caught not too far from my home waters. Maybe the bigger ones thrive in the warmer waters in the southern states. Thanks for the input, keep it coming. I'd like to here from a few more folks.
