I have caught one 11-12 ft long.
Roll mop herring or worms or cut bait.
They CAN pull a boat NO PROBLEM.
They taste better than they look thats for sure..
But I can drive 1 hour and be @ the best spot I can think of
They arent dangerous persay.. just big and clumsy but they are pretty much docile bottom feeders.
Easy to catch
personally...
