What's in a Laker...check the tummy...
« on: Feb 16, 2007, 04:48 PM »
Sweetie and I were out on Cold Lake for a couple of hours...this one was interested in my hook..and we don't know why.

Got it home...took a picture...


and started cleaning it for supper...and this is what we found...a small herring with a stinger, and another stinger..and if
you are squeamish or belong to Peta...close your eyes..

Hunter08..even funnier when you know the rest of the story...Sweetie and I had been out for about an hour, and I really
needed to heed the call of nature....asked Sweetie to hold my rod while I stepped discreetly behind the truck...as soon as I was
...answering that call, he hollered, "Do you know you have one on."  I have never finished by business so quickly...pulled up my
britches and grabbed my rod...and yes, there was one on!!  And that is the rest of the story!!

Ouch, those two treble hooks would not be very pleasant to have in one's stomach.
I think you may have spared that laker alot of pain in the future. :P

A neat story and nice laker littleoldlady.
Fish have a way of hitting when you are least prepaired don't they. ;D

It was 1 tough fish. Musta Gave one hell of a fight, nice pics.
The nameless men who nameless rivers travel,
And in strange valleys greet strange deaths alone;
The grim, intrepid ones who would unravel
The mysteries that shroud the Polar Zone.

Nice fish, and those hooks look like they'd be a bit uncomfortable. Last year I found a spark plug in a Laker's stomach. I definitely didn't expect that. The only thing I can think of is, some people use them for sounders, the Laker must have grabbed it.
