Ah yes, those were the days. You could parallel the shoreline rocks with a crank, my best was a blue back fat rap, #5 and beat up on the channel cats. I have had a lot of big hits on lures by all kinds of fish, but a 3-4lb channel, smacking a crank is one of the hardest hits on a lure that I have ever had. Even though you know it is coming and that it will almost take the rod out of your hand, they are still the hardest hitting fish out there. Good job out there TD. I will be heading to the Snake River for the next two weeks, but will be hitting Willard after we get back !!
