[cool][#0000ff]Back in the 70s and 80s there were quite a few nice kitties. Caught a lot of them when jigging spoons for the mongo perch in the late summer and fall. And I knew a few guys who specialized in night fishing for the bigguns. A big whole minnow on the bottom...a rod with a bell on it...a campfire and a lounge chair. Serious. And they caught more than a few over 20#. I have heard of 30 pounders caught both from Yuba and formerly good fishery known as Gunnison upstream on the Sevier River. Alas, it is only a carp factory these days...like Yuba. Gunnison is drained to the riverbed every fall by the water users and that year's carp production goes downstream to Yuba.[/#0000ff]
