    Big. I don't think I've ever seen one under 10 to 15 pounds. Mainly live bait or cigs.

    They will frequently hit a spoon or lure, too, especially if they get the least bit fired up.

    Give a googan a king, and he can eat for a day. But teach a googan how to kingfish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years
