Like a big bass, and a mature buck for that matter, these fish do not get big by being stupid, so outsmarting them is the key.

Running out the door but wanted to add a comment to my 'friend request'. I'm an outdoor writer from the Chicago area and the shellcrakcers you are catching are insane. Better than that pay gills at Richmond Mills. Would love to do an article on you and your amazing achievement in targeting those fish.
