    A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work!

    I'm wondering what you do with them snot rockets? Eat, release, or toss? Many of them around here get given away or tossed on the ice. I usually give them away if there are any takers. If not they are back down the hole.

    They get filleted up and thrown in the deep fryer with everything else. I can't fillet them well because of the Y bones, but a buddy I was with cleaned him up good.

    We caught about 8 ~25" northerns that would have been perfect eaters but we don't/can't clean them either so they went back.

    I haven't mastered it yet but the Y bones can be removed fairly easy once you've done it a few times. Plenty of videos on YouTube on how to do it. I just need more practice and I'll be targeting them a bit more.

    Can you elaborate? Vehicles can and will fall through all lakes but it's probably 0.0001% of all the vehicles driving on the lakes.

    The biggest lakes in Minnesota always have vehicles go through the ice. It's not because the ice is dangerous, it's because people are stupid. More times than not people are driving over pressure ridges or large cracks and end up going through, or they are driving on ice that isn't suitable for vehicles.

    Sea trout. I have heard they are good eating, I throw them back. I would love to bring my river jon boat down to Florida to fish the kayaks we use are not fishing kayaks and that adds challenges.
