    " Yanking " was an old method of fishing for Lake Trout in northern Ontario using a Williams Wobler spoon . The spoon was developed by Dr. Williams a surgeon in Niagara Falls Ont . Still available now ; the spoon was silver with a bend plus a ridge running down the center the hook would be baited , yanking produced a snap which was different form anything else at that time , it worked so well he went into business with it ! It is not a trolling spoon but has been used for trolling [ no success for us ] ! Give it a try !

    Great topic with lot of useful information ; one problem is seasonal business and the vagaries that go with it . They probably did not see big $$s in your repair when they had other big $$ work to do [ which they should have told you rather than the brush off you got with your engine being " shot " , how did they determine that ? ] #1 compression , my lesson was do not use the automotive type with the hose ,it gives a false low reading use the type that screws directly into the block : An engine with good compression is not " shot " #2 Fuel problems can be related to ethanol mixed gas ; I pay more with high test ethanol free but they Yamaha dealer told me to still add their fuel additive to my fuel ? #3 I agree with DIY if you can but get a service manual ; a little late but the manual does show you how to test for a fuel pump ! #4 Not your problem ? yet but every older OMC engine with a problem try and run it in the dark if you can : did this and saw an intermittent spark near the power pack ; the bolt holding the power pack was starting to back off because of the shaking off a 2 cycle engine so I was loosing intermittent ground ; turning a wrench may have saved my a " $ 320 " repair ! #5 Not your problem ? yet but check for a partially blocked exhaust . A good mechanic could not diagnose my problem ; he called OMC nd they advised him he had done everything else that was the problem !

    How do you bleed Lake Trout ? If I take a fish it is dispatched [ killed ] gutted ASAP , not much blood left !

    Good topic ! Do what works for you but what worked for me was spraying the skin with " Quick Start " which is ether [ acts as a local anesthetic ] ; the hook may be just pulled out with fishing tools [ no different than the method in the video with the fishing line ] . Less tissue damage by making a small incision in the skin around the hook then the hook will come out easier ! Wash the wound with soap and water [ you always was your hands with Ivory soap before handling tackle to remove human scent don't you ? ] apply any topical wound dressing in your boat first aid kit Consider your tetanus immune status ; may by a good time to up date your immunity . If the wound looks like it may become infected see the doctor !

    So your apples peaches etc have no poison ! Do as you wish or believe ; poisons have to be used responsibly with plastic bait stations etc
