Dude, I'm not saying this has never happened to me but this time of the year you got to looking for down river fish or "re-brites". Not only did you kill fish that have already done their thing but they taste like crap. And don't listen to any idiot who thinks they will smoke up good. They don't...Normally, by taking a good look at the belly it's quite obvious they have already spwaned and should be released.....
