Yeah they fight just like a Smallie...minus the jumps. They can be difficult to catch when not on bed. Laurel Hill and VFW regularly produce them in the 14 and 15 inch range. But when I was bank fishing they could be real hard to find. Now that I have the kayak my Shell Cracker fishing is looking up...LOL.
