Can somebody please tell me about these fish...i found a school of well over 50 to 100 swimming together.I was shocked and never saw this before.After getting my jig torn to heck with no hook ups,i switched over to a cranks and suspending jerkbaits with no takers.Never caught one of these and would like to someday.I i feel i missed out on some awesome action as this is the first time i witnessed that many.

This is the way Virgil Ward use to do it... Undo a six inch piece of 3/8" nylon rope leaving 1.5 to 2" solid(making a fuzzy skirt). Thread it onto a Johnson silver minnow spoon and chunk away! If you get a hit, don't be overly concerned about setting the hook. They will roll on it, which will entangle thier toofies. Take a sharp knife with you.

I figured you would need a hammer so you can bop'em on the head

I didn't however know the gill plates are razor sharp as well.I'm actually glad i didn't catch one now.

I caught one on a jig head Friday that was about 2 foot long. They are so skinny you can just reach around them.
