excuse my language but that SUCKS![mad]
Henry's is a very shallow lake and with the water temps it is stressful on the fish. I fish an Idaho lake over Labor day, but it is 40' at the deep part. I was fishing 20' and caught A LOT, but they were slow to take off, so they stayed int he water and I tried not to touch them at all. Quick picture of a couple, pulled hook while still in the net, then turn the net over, wet hand, hold tail and wait till the took off. I did see a nice 20" floating along the shore when we got there.
It is fun to catch them and if the bite is on it is also fun to go for the numbers, but we have all got to slow down on the return.
