I really do not wiegh them but once in a while I will measure the big
ones and my biggest one was a 24 incher I guessed it to be around
4 1/2 -- 5 pounds somewhere. I caught on the St. Croix River and
its quite common to catch some big ones there. A friend from Mass.
came up last year and caught one about 3 pounds and was jumping
around like a young fellow and told me it was the biggest fish he
has ever caught. It brought a big smile from me seeing this. The biggest
one I caught was with a rubber crayfish and some mud I would throw
into the water. After throwing the mud I would bounce the crayfish
off the bottom. It works for me.
