We caught up with Jeff Kriet and learned that our earlier estimates of 20 pounds were off for him. He "hopes" he has 16. The good new for Jeff is he has a 6 pounder in his livewell. "I'm giving that spot where we caught em a rest," he said. "I'll go back there in a little bit." Right after he said that he hooked a big one then lost it.
Earlier in the day Jeff caught three smallmouth we assumed were keepers. But it turned out they were shorter than 18 inches, which is the legal limit here.
Jeff said KVD lost a 7 and a 5 pounder earlier in the day.
