Vic Attardo: Use this clever technique to hook the powerful Delaware River shad

You’ll never see a shad cut into a school of minnows and grab one – their mouths are too small for that.
And you won’t see a shad bust against shoreline to grab a frog or bluegill. Again, their mouths are too small, and that’s just not the way they operate. Also, I’ve never see a shad surface-splash into rising mayflies. I doubt they know how.
But hook into a significant size shad and you’re quickly introduced to its power and glory.
