Awesome fish Jeffrey.......

Thanks guys.......yeah Jim with the up and down weather such that we had an 8 degree water temperature change down from last Saturday.....the Sabiki  rig I use allows me to fish (4) foot bands at a time which allows me to locate the fish quicker in deeper water......turns out yesterday the gills were suspended around 8 to 10 feet in a sixteen foot deep hole........

Ah,,,the Sabiki rigs...great for herring and the occasional hickory shad in the spring!

Nice work!
