Sea Lamprey!

[RIPNLIP]

I haven't seen too many lamprey marks on fish from Lake Erie. I've caught (& killed) a few on Lake Ontario attached to salmon. It's a regular occurrence to see the lamprey marks on the sides of salmon out of Ontario. If they're in Lake Ontario they're going to be in Lake Erie. Easy access, unfortunately.

Damn the Whelen Canal. Thank you freighters with your ballast water!

I have caught many with marks on them and 2 attached. You should try heel stomping those slimy slippery things while they are trying to get away on the floor of the boat. Not easy.
