They are stacked in one area the size of a car hood, and I was catching them hand over fist till I ran out of bait. I started using lures, but quit keeping them after I had 17 on my stringer. Total weight was around 16 lbs before I filleted them. I ended up with just under 10 lbs of fillets, and gave about half to some relatives.

Chris I am just curious as to how they fight. But your post indicated they are prolific and can obviously survive the winter here....which is highly unusual. Texas and other states seem to be having problems with these fish....they are concerned they will take over the lakes they are in. The next question is how did they get in there? Makes one wonder if they will start showing up other places.
