I used some last night as well.
They are definatley THE MOST DISGUISTING CREATURES ON EARTH.

I should have used ice to calm them, cause one was fiesty and instantly wrapped itself in my line to a huge tangled ball of mono,slim and eel. YUK !!!

If I held them with a rag and got them in the water quickly, no problem.

To keep them alive for a long time in the boat, I just keep changing the water in a 5 gal. bucket with my washdown.
I'll ice em' next time though.

BTW, I didn't catch s**t...
Even live pollack NADA.
But I did manage to pick up a lobster line on the prop on the way back. Pitch dark near hull gut with my 13 yr. old. A bit tense for a while. But dad saved the day !!!!!
Made the evening so much more enjoyable !!!

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
