went to see if the gills were on the beds yet and their not but they are in the shallow warm channels. we caught so many we lost count well over a hundred. we put them all back and we are gonna go back tomorrow with a couple of buddies and we hope to catch enough to keep them guys out of our freezer.i will report back tomorrow and let you all have an exact count.oh yea they were all in the 6-8" range.
