I only caught two. One was a really nice 5.88 pounder off of a football head jig and the other was probably 2 1/2 to 3 pounds (didn't weigh it) off of an LV500 lipless crank. Both fish were really healthy looking and the 5.88 had a massive gut on it so I know it's been eating well. Not sure when I'll get out again although my fishing partner and I are going to try and head down to Mozingo Lake in northern Missouri late next week if the weather cooperates.
