Thanks man! Appreciate it. Water temp was 47 degrees, low pressure, river was on a slow rise. We caught 18 that day, besides this one a 45, a 38, a 32 bunch in the 20s and teeners. They was stacked up on a current seam feeding on shad. Was an incredible day! Long answer to a short question sorry lol
