Cecil & Bill, made the trip to see Hesterman this morning. Took about 3.5 hours. Was pretty impressed by his operation. It was the place to be at about 9AM. Ended up getting 125 BG and 25 RES. The RES were huge, all well over 6" with about half pushing 8-9". The BG varied with a few 4-5" fish, which were immediately hammered by my 15" LMB (nothing like a 7-hour drive to get bass food). Many of the BG were nice 6-7" fish and I ended up with one breeder that was probably bigger than any BG that I've ever caught (pushing 10"). The fish seemed to make it OK but they were a little beat up from banging together. Hope they recover. If I'm lucky we'll get a productive spawn this year for the first time. Thanks for the suggestion.

Also brought back 250 crayfish
