I agree with you about the smallies, tubedude. At Jordanelle last year we fished for smallies almost exclusively. The red eyes we caught averaged around 1-1/2 to 2 lbs. We caught two or three in the 3-4 lb range. Three years ago my father-in-law caught a 5-1/2 pounder and we averaged 2 and 3 pounders almost every time we went out. We are catch-photo-release so I watched them as they slashed back into the pond. They were still frisky (can't say the same for the fishermen!)[
