Smells like cucumbers and tastes like crap.

I'll take it off your hands, so you dont have to deal with it.

I get whitefish at scallywags in traverse city every time we go... Its pretty much my favorite fish aside from walleye... Hence the reason i love Saginaw bay so much

That is a hog! very Nice!
X2 on Scallywags, love their fried whitefish, fries, and hushpuppies. Add a cup of their whitefish chowder and it's one of our favorite meals.

Went to the black hole today from daylight til dark.... We manage 4 eyes 14 18 20 24 and 4 perch 10 11 13 13.75
This is my buddy josh with the biggest perch he got.... Fatty pics do it no justice

All the fish but the smalleye came on tipups... Bite shut off when the wind shifted was a beautiful day.... Might be one of the last safe days on the bay this season
