CP,
The others are more than half that size. I have been averaging just under 11" on the keepers and only one in five is not a keeper (normally I keep anything over 8" but at Strike, I alter the criteria to 9" and above).
IPF,
As to what I am using, I will say that it seems like different stuff works for a given time of year and spot on the lake with a complete change only 2 weeks apart. I will PM you with my latest secrets but I learn something new every time out and by no means think that I have it figured out. I will also PM anyone else that has contributed to this forum like you have.
I will say that use of a good fish finder seems important and keeping an open mind on where to go is necessary. I have done well all over the reservoir and been skunked (or nearly skunked) everywhere also.
BTW - the one in the photo was a hair under 13" with a 9" girth. One of the fish calculators said that would be about a 1.3 lb perch.
