Why were the fish having a hard time going back down hole?

[Matt Breuer]

John, lake trout are one of the exceptions, they can adjust to the pressure changes very very quickly.

arbuck, I let my fish thaw. They turn slimy, but are easier to do.

[Jackpine Rob]

The lakers will actually "burp" up air from the bladder as they come up. Sometimes you will see bubbles coming up into the hole, but it is much easier to see in open water.

I'm not sure if there are other fish that can do this, but lakers are the only ones I am aware of.

Let them thaw for a while or you wont be able to follow the bonelines and will most likely ruin them.

[arbuck]

Thanks guys. I let them thaw today and cut'em up. Slime, you aint just a kiddn Matt. But the meat cleaned up good and i'm sure they will taste great. The skin seamed to come off easier too.

Thanks

I'm jealous, the last time I went to a QR concert, some guy ran a red light and broadsided me, needless to say I didn't make it to the concert that night. I'll be on Cemetary Friday night, if your out and about stop on in.

northlander about the fish floating under the ice when they die. my cousin fishes on a musky lake where they get crapies all the time like that he said that if u take a underwater camera in one of thoses spots u are likely to see musky swim up and eat the dead crapies off the bottom of the ice. talk about all u can eat buffet for the muskys so i say keep them if your 30+ FOW.
