Michelle: As I watched Mike cast that net and bring in those shad I yearned to try it for myself. Finally I couldn't stand it anymore- I had to try it. Mike proceeded to give me instructions on getting ready to throw.

I realized this might be a little harder than it looks.

I had to stop a moment and concentrate before I threw.

Well, once I threw it I knew there was no turning back.

You can tell by my reaction how it went- not good at all!!

I was sure with such a bad throw there couldn't possibly be any fish in the net.

Much to my delight there WAS one fish in there.

I counted it a success because at least I had fun.

Kelley: These fresh shad are the key to our success.

We keep the shad in a live well because the fresher the better, sometimes it can be a tough job to keep these little guys alive.
