They were spawning on Toledo about 2 weeks ago. We kept hearing thrashing on the bank that was way bigger than carp.

I trolled over there and as I was trying to determine what was making the noise a 5 footer came sliding by my boat into the orgy. The fish was at least 5' long, probably 10 to 12" wide and I'd guess near 100 lbs.

The more we watched they were porpoising for air and shaking the flooded bushes like crazy. I guess one would lay eggs and the males would all charge in and inseminate.

It was a pile of at least 6 or 7. All of them beast around or over 100 pounds.
