got to fish winnie this afternoon

[americanfisher77]

well took the family to winnibigoshis this afternoon. didn't take long for the action to start. got some good advice on a starting point from nodak lodge.  i seemed to have way better luck on a red glow rattlin flyer than any other lure or even the live minnows. got a nice 10" perch on a walleye tip up and a small northern on another, but that was it for flags. the rest of the fish were off a red and silver swedish pimple and the red flyer. didn't get any reall jumbo's but alot of good eaters.

teachin the kids.

do they normally stink?? cause this guy was REALLY smelly. i had to wash my hands and put him downwind of the shanty?  and i did a little readin on them and it seems like this is a pretty good size one?

Yep. They can stink. Some worse than others. We catch some when we fish for lakers one in a while. Very oily meat. I believe the oil is what causes the smell. Throw it in the smoker.

Took a trip to Winne last year caught a few and they really stink.  Could not get the smell off my hands all day.  Larry at Nodak said the are a main food source for the northerns and suggested releasing them.

not trying to start anything but you should always try to go pottie before you take pics of your catch.
