We catch them out of the river. I had one foul hooked on a Trap last year that I finally gave up on, it was a solid 5 foot from tip of nose to tip of tail, looked like a dang Shark hooked up, no I did not land it in that current on the bank, lol.

I did however have it on for over 20 minutes and near the bank three times until I was exhausted and gave up. I pulled for all I was worth to break it off and the Trap came loose and I didn't even loose the my bait.

I caught one in 2008 at the hydros. It was 54" from tip of the bill to the fork in the tail and weighed about 34#'s. I will post pic to back up my story if I can find it. It took 45 mins to land on 12# test while chasing with the boat. What a fight!!!
