Thanks Paul, I love fishing at Henry's, the fish are so pretty and a small one there is big anywhere else.... Usually fat and footballs for sure... This round the biggest was only 24" with most between 20 to 24"..... We weighed the fish we cleaned after cleaning and taking the heads off and they still averaged over 2.5 lbs each... I wish we would have checked sooner, they probably were around 4 lb average, with the biggest maybe close to 6 lbs... The first 3 we kept the bigger fish, but the last 3 were what bit, so a little smaller fish and yet they still were nice fish...
Still trying to decide why I couldn't buy a bite on my pole... Not sure if line weight is that critical, I was using 10 lb orange leader and Alton was set up with 4 or 6 lb clear mono.... Between that and using a bigger circle hook was the only real difference in the set ups... I typically haven't worried about line weight that much, but maybe I need to start paying more attention to it... later J

When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
