A pickerel a day keeps the skunk away. This bait thief robed my hook the first time at 2pm at 230pm ish. He hit a gain on the next line and I caught em. Hew was puking out all kinds of bait fish while I was unhooking him. And broke the hook on the sweedish pimple. So I left him on the ice for the birds. Wasn't long before the crows came along to snack👍👍🤘🤘🎣🎣🧊🧊💯💯👊!!
