1 off the beach is worth 10 off the boat!

I have a hard time differentiating large herring from small shad. I wonder how many AMS shad get pickled as herring.
I saw where ya'll zapped some very large female HS. How heavy do you think they were pre-spawn?
Thanks for the data and heads up on the Rap.
Hope you're fishing.

Sorry to be so late to respond to this question. Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between HIS and and the larger female ALE. As for your question on the weight of the larger HIS, we don't weigh them anymore in an effort to get them back in the water as soon as possible. I would guess some of the bigger females were around four pounds if not a bit more.

My 2010 copy of "WORLD RECORD GAMES FISHES" published by the IGFA list Dave Chermanski with all the HS fly rod catches (7). Most have been caught in the Econlockhatchee River, FL (Say what?) The largest was 2 lb 14oz none over 3lb. Maybe this year someone will be able to top one of Dave's records.
Hope you're fishing.
