Yes they eat good. Spoonbill only have 3 bones in there body, and they are in the head. Yes , just casting blind and snatching back to the bank.

JBL, I fought the 56 pounder for 35 minutes yesterday before I got him to the bank.

I took my Deeper Start cast-able fish finder with me yesterday snagging, to see how deep the bigger fish were. I bought it last year, since I do have a boat. I mainly use it for finding catfish and crappie. The river where I am snagging is around 30 feet deep. App on my phone so I can watch it while reeling the fish finder in. The numbers above the fish are the depth the fish are.

Man, you’re bringing them home! That looks really fun, congrats! If things get even worse you just brought home close to 200lbs of meat (didn’t do the math exactly) that must be a good feeling.

I think they can get as heavy as 100 pounds (not very common i believe?) but Swampy's were some good 'uns. Especially that 5 1/2 footer!
