Great last couple of days on the water as we put our first commercial keeper on board 75", as well as catching and releasing a half dozen others in the 70" range. Great start to the season as it is only June 4, I hope it keeps up. This is our class of fish returning in the 70" range and they certaintly are tackle testers especially in June when they are lean and mean pulling 35 to 40lbs of drag on the intial run pretty fast. Very hard to gauge the length especially when we are commercial fishing and you want to get it right could be over or under by an inch. We were doing well pulling them in the door on a smooth tarp to protect them from the non skid, dropping a cloth over the eyes and quckly getting our large wash down hose in it's mouth getting a quick measurement and gently pushing them out the door as they all kicked away healthy nice to see. Good reports up north as well as down south of smaller class fish showing up as well great to hopefully see the cycle starting over! Make sure your gear is tip top if your are planning to tackle these fish on light and spinning gear as they will put you and your tackle to the test. You may want to re new that gym membership after all. Good luck guys as it is shaping up to be a great season. Good luck to all!
