Had 5 clang off the rails or side of the pontoon. Had several more that were looking at me at eye level next to the boat but didn't collide. The side rails on the pontoon kept the clangers from coming in but that is a scary thought having the same action in a bass boat as those fish would have been in. And we aren't talking about 1 or 2 or 3 pound fish. Most of these fish were 6, 8, or 10 pounds. This is not good news. I don't think they would be much of an issue moving fast but be careful idling up on the flats. I am thinking about carrying around a garbage can lid or something for protection! These things are wild for sure!!!

Man, THAT *****........

Personally I think the DNR or whoever really needs to figure out how to start eradicating these fish.........

I don't know how, but SOMETHING needs to be done......
