Caught this in a private pond about 2 weeks ago. Beetlespin with body removed and tipped with nightcrawler. slow retrieve off a point in 5 fow. These big ones tug pretty good. right at 11" and not quite a pound. also posted on bream board, but I read this board more often. Very cool fish...love the shellcrackers!
