I wasn't fishing for them but I was fishing a wind blown main lake bank for lm using a orange crawfish #7 shadrap and caught 4 but they were mostly small. Talk about a fighting fish! I had one hit a rattle trap last year while I was bass fishing and it nearly pulled me in! It was 5lbs. I don't see how you could land one any bigger! Maybe I should give up on the lm and start fishing for hybrids! lol!!
