Hope this helps and honestly lays the reality out there......

Dark I got some lucky fish over the weekend. 12 and 14lbs. They were looking down. Let me know if you want to borrow the rake.
BTW great reports. rofl at the shatting the pants reference. I could say - "Sh*t happens." TMI anyway but funny.
