Not what you think! 
Got to try the old push down and yank the line trick to get one out of my tumb yesterday on P4. It was BURRIED!!
The line trick worked great though. …Didn’t miss more than 5 minutes of fishing and it didn’t really hurt at all.
Now if I could’ve only had a better day with the bite – and the heat.

Them buggers stick to everything.
Just pull on it a bit harder and I bet it would have broke. 
Those are the kind of troubles I’ve had with their hooks. Wipers destroy em.
Well, you must have read up on it and done it right if it didn’t hurt or you didn’t pass out.
A couple of us were up on the top of Pepin early dragging cranks with lead and boards… just small saugies hitting the hot fire tiger…when we switched to spinners and crawlers, the ‘woolies’ were all over it.
Quit at 2, the heat was not for us….went to the bottom end of Pepin and no luck there. Picked one on central point, but that’s when the heat was on and we called it a day.
Our luck was the same as yours Flatfish. A lot of <14-inch fish. We did manage a 5# pike, a bunch of small smallies and a dogfish to top it all off – later in the afternoon – after we switched-up to pitching cranks and jigs at the rocks on the WI side of Peppin. We had water at 93 Degree’s in some locations along shore there!
