Here's one to ponder. Curious what you guys think.
I caught a pike the other day with two large smelt sized burbot babies in his stomach.
Could you use those burbot as bait?
Would that be considered using a game fish as bait, or using fish guts as bait?
I fed them to the kitties with the rest of the guts, but I've been thinking about that ever since
