I wasnt along, but they landed 5 over 30lb and 2 over 40lb. Bluegill I would presume. Sorry about your boat...I dont run a prop when I wanna scoot for a reason

So far my catches of the year are a decent large mouth and what I consider to be a pretty huge crappie. I wish I had gotten a better shot of the large mouth.

(the susquehanna suffers mostly from excessive nutrients, and most harmful chemical contamination has been taken care of...PA DEP and the EPA do a pretty bang up job of keeping up with pollutants entering the river...world class for sure!)Granted, ive harvested many a fish with nasty open sores that look like herpes...but im not sure that it would bad to your health to eat those fish, just think of a cut that gets infected and doesnt heal right!
Also, if people are that worried about any contaminants/toxins in fish, just dont eat the fat! Most bad things just accumulate there...but not in noticeable amounts in the river...
Waterfowl are more likely to have harmful diseases/toxins when eaten, but you dont hear about it so people dont seem to care. Had a friend almost die from some kind of parasite that was in a duck and could survive the high temps of cooking, they get parasites because they often eat undigested grain in fertilizer and dabble in stagnant lake water...
Lakes are the real culprits considering toxic critters, but thats for another day
