No gaffs. 6lbs is a big 'ol largemouth or a pig smallie, or even a good 'eye. If I can't lift it with a few fingers it scares the crap outta me. I might get 8 or 10 pounds out of a northern but thats once or twice a year tops. We grow small fish up here. Lake St. Clair is arguably the best muskie fishery in the world but I can't afford the gear for that, never mind a boat to get me to the Canadian waters. Heck, I don't know if I could afford the Canadian license anymore. I can't pay upwards of 20 bucks a lure, and all that money for the rods and reels, so I fish for bass, and walleye and perch.
