Don't everyone hate me but as a kid on our cottage lake we were taught to throw the ling on the ice when we caught them, nobody ever ate them. We were told they ate the laketrout eggs. Obviously 30 years later I know better. Same with the rock bass tournaments they used to have on fairy, and lake of bays. You know those thousands of rock bass never got eaten. Not trying to defend the guy, I don't even know what my point is really.
