2.5lb'rs seem to be the norm now, we caught a bunch of them. Now a "kicker" better be 3.5 or more.....I was shocked at the size of the spots that first place and second had.
A side note: 2nd place winner Jared Litner (who has been having a fantastic last couple of years fishing Pro) is off to fish in the BASS Elite series. Good luck to him!
