I wonder if the stripers in Mead could choke down that big ol' shad, probably take a 40-50#er, but I don't think it's out of question. I caught a 40# striper at Willow that had a 3# carp jammed down it's gullet, I actually thought the carp's tail was some weeds sticking out of the striper's mouth, until daylight and I got a closer look.
Oh yeah, for that big gizzard CV netted, If I had a heavy rod (river rod) along with me, I would have sent that shad back down with a couple 4/0 trebles to see if anyone down there wanted to play. Probably wouldn't have caught anything with it, but if you did... HANG ON!
