Worst bait experience ??

Last spring I was fishing a fair amount of live herring. I had a livewell inside the Bronco to keep those little fellows alive long enough to fish 'em. After one very long night/morning fishing herring at the Canal and a nice little spot in Wareham (where I got my first two keepahs of the season 13#s & 22#s) I was like the walking dead when I got home. I pulled the what I thought was empty livewell out of the truck and onto my back yard. That was late morning on Sunday . By thursday, the bride is asking me what that smell was. I dunno... I KNOW it isn't my livewell 'casue I emptied that.

Know, the queasy should look at a different topic at this point. Those that know what I'm about to write may be suffering from mild dry-heaves at this point :-o .

By Thursday night, the three previously unknown herring had spawned a 36x18 pool of maggots 3 inches deep. They were in the aerator, filter, hose, and pump 'assy. I was nearly puking my guts out for the very long time it took to clear that out... Nasty, but you asked Jenn... Now I admit that several day old squid is pretty nasty as is old eels and old herring but that particular time was by far the worst

Hey Wendy? Whassupp??
