Holy CRAP

Maybe you can get a government grant to Collect Lampreys

At the Shootout Ellen Marsden mentioned Tagging them .....maybe reading the tags as yours seem a bit late for it

Thanks for the heads up on the dock because UVM hockey was there when we cam in. I'm just saying..

[instigator]

didnt want any one breaking a hip or going for a swim, Reggie

[Gecha (Gerry)]

Nice pics Reggie.
Those lampreys must love the taste of the paint on your vessel.
Now, if they could make paint that would attract big silvers

[nwhavnbill]

good to see you out there Reggie. You Know in England they make a mean lamprey pie. Might be worth checking out...

The only tagging a lamprey needs is with a ballpein hammer. Nice catch.

[Crazy Ivan]

Dude maybe you should lay off the smeltriite.... Just saying

[Ludo]

Catch of the year !!! definitely.

Instigator control lampreys better than all Quebec !

Did super cab smoke those lampreys and put the meat in those baby glass jars? Yikes! I will pass on the smoked lamprey.

Ludo: We need reggies boat in the morphion stream this spring for the spawning run and a shop vac to suck them off the transom.

Great reports!

i havent heard of lampreys attaching to boats in a while. Back in the 90's inbetween treatments we would see that. used to pull the boat out of water and the lamprey would still be attached! i remember pulling 11 off the boat in the parking lot at shelburne bay. They used to really like my buddies wooden boat...

[Ludo]

In Shelburne Bay, lampreys love my boat

[Capt Kirk]

i have no idea why they dont treat the laplatte? maybe they do now....but not by the looks of the video...

ludo do you have a rigger mount for the go pro? i think ive seen some footage but i want to see the actual mount???

thanks
kirk

[Ludo]

Normal Go-Pro mount, stuck on the ball with a screw and tie-rap.

I've added a leader attached to the gopro, to avoid loosing it.

[Lavman]

Man, seeing those lampreys attach to the boat makes me not want to swim in the lake

[riddlervt]

When they start attaching to the kids at the beach, then they will get some attention! Right now they are only a fisherman's problem.
