1. Your largemouth bass will do a little better.

3. Gizzard Shad smell funny, and if you touch them you'll want to go wash your hands.


I want to wash my hands after touching any fish. How are Gizzards worse? Never touched one.. but I want to go fish Roosevelt to see what's going on. Really, they smell that much different?
