Yep! Small to midsize is good, but so are the big ones. I generally used
limb lines baited with good size brim (perch) and catch them up to 30
pounds.

A lot has to do with the cleaning. I always cut the juggler vein and put
them in a tub of fresh water and let them bleed. They die quickly (less
than five minutes) and pump blood into the water and replace their blood
with water. The filet meat comes out firm and white. Can't tell the meat
from the smaller ones except for the size of the filets.

Isn't anybody fishing the big cats out there?

Lost all my fishing spots, sold my boat, and cry every day,
but love to hear your stories.
