Open Water Sucsess

[RayL42]

On my Friday off i went to my early season spot. The morning started out slow but picked up and we ended up landing 8 lake whites.

However our success rate was low we were getting 5 to 6 bites for every fish we hooked.

You must really set the hook hard to snap their necks like that. :)

I almost didn’t post that photo because of that. The guy I was fishing with thinks that’s the best way to dispatch fish, and he has significantly more experience then I so I don’t argue.

It is actually good to see. Too many people catch fish and let them slowly suffer on the shore or on the ice. I like that you dispatched them quickly.

What technique do you use for the lake whites? that's an awesome haul!

[RagingPenguin]

I'm the same way, run the knife through the keepers, no need to leave it panicing in the bottom of the boat or on the ice.
Nice haul!

I also like to see instant kills. I usually drop a knife through the spine, just behind the head.

Almost forgot the best part...
Fresh fish and chips
