    not sure on the length. i was covert in my flat all weekend and didn’t have a tape. Everyone knows there’s big girls in the pits right now. No sense in giving them sore lips when I’m fishing next weekend. This fish came out of dark slough.

    JOSH, the pits are midway down pool 8, I’d have to show you to really explain it. They are very deep dredge holes (20-40ft) and the fish school up in that deep water and ocasionally move up onto some flats and points (3-10ft) to feed/spawn before they go back down under schools of shad. I personally like fishing more open/deeper water for smallies but i’ve heard of people going up creeks and small rivers around here to catch them too.
