Put in at Cow creek just after daylight, fished the 200 feet out to the river and picked up 2 keepers between 12 and 14 inches fished the Island picking up another half dozen in the same range, then moved into Dead river. Fished 4 or five select spots and picked up another dozen or so, mostly in the same range and lost two nice uns due to my playing with them I had no intention of keeping any fish on this day "due to plenty in the freezer"and rather enjoyed hooking a couple Bass that had the size to pull drag Also landed 4 Stripers in the 14 to 16 inch range All of the fish looked fat and sassy and full of eggs "the 3 we ate last weekend all had eggs in them"! Water temp was 57 and all fish was caught on a Rattlin Rougue

I mainly throwed the Rattlin Rougue but also tried a Dying Flutter and an X-Rap, they only hit the RR The biggest I have personally seen was about 30 inches "and it was swimming unhooked past the boat"

There are some big ones in Talquin and below the Woodruff Dam on the Apalachicola (Chattahoochee depnding on where you're from). I've seen photos. They are like unicorns to me though.
