A about a dozen fish ball day, ran out of livies bye 8:10 switched to strip baits and straight jigging of crlippled herring... not 1 gut hooked fish, the 5 gallon pail of whole Mack's were gone a little after 1..as long as you kept the chunk.line going the fish stayed under the boat and we were doubled up..
Finished the day running my lobster pots with 8 keeper lobsters.. great day I shared with a ice fishing buddy from the mountains of new hampshire that only fished fresh water.. hes talking about buying a boat..and getting a slip.. another life ruined...st least hes single.

FWIW, I haven't run a chunk line since I quit selling bass. In 2004. I guess itvstillb it still works for big numbers.

I dunno, 100 fish is a lot. I know the mortality rate for circle hooks is low, but the odds are at least some of the released fish may have died. With things going like they have been over the past few years, all of us need to think about things when we do C&R.
