You put together a nice mess of these that'll run 3\4 pounds, and you've got yourself a treasure. Good eaters, and fun to catch. We don't have them as concentrated here as they do in lakes a little further south, so we don't get into them on the beds like they do, for example, in Arkansas.
They get big in Lake Havasu in Arizona too. I've seen pictures of some giants caught there.
