I think most of what they catch these days are 8 to 10 lbs. I do know of a guy catching a 35 about 3 weeks ago from the breaks. Two years ago all the bigger Stripers died for the most part. It was some type hydro oxygen problem and they were caught at a depth with no air.A few big guys survived but not many. In the mean time the shad have really come back in the lake. The fish are once again feeding well on shad and not just not alewifes. The fishing for everything has improved. With the shad starting to re-populate the stripers will hit a growth streak soon.The big smallies are getting very common due to the increased size limit. The real surprise is the number of 3 and 4 lb Kentucky spotted bass that were caught this last year. Fish2win
