    Sounds like a good day on the water. Here's average weights on those size fish. Some real nice stripes, Smith Mtn. sounds like it's rebounding well from the copepods. To bad their in Murray now :angry:.

    28 - 10.3 lbs.
    31 - 13
    33 - 15.8
    35 - 18

    These are just averages, add some to it if they had eggs or sacks in them. Great Job.
