Yeah, pretty deep. I saw Lake Erie in 1976. Blew my mind. Big freighters . Tides! I'm from Connecticut, nothing like that here. I think my entire state is smaller than any great lake. Impressive.

Great catch of some nice looking walleyes. As a saltwater guy I can't help but think of those heads as bait in crab traps or at the end of a handline!

Are you keeping those carcasses for fish head soup?
This was at a municipal launch site and fish cleaning station. The guy that was in charge asked us to leave all of the carcass's there for him. I didn't ask why. Would make great bait in a crab trap or bear bait?

I was just kidding. I figured you just had not dissuaded them yet. Glad they will not be waisted. I have heard that fresh carcasses make the best mud bug bait.
