I am a local resident of Port Clinton, Walleye Capital of the world, and don't forget that !!! I have been fishing Lake Erie for sum 50 Yrs.
    I have fished post good years and the bad. I have worked on the head boats, and the sport boats choosing to fish for fun, not the money. I do consider myself a good fisherman and outdoorsman. I believe most people who know me would agree. I am a new member to your forum but have followed on this site for awhile, also a member on Ice Shanty & OGF.
    The reason for my post was to hopefully find out what happens to these fish that are being caught and released. Does it put undo-stress on a pre spawn fish ? Spawning starts in 45 days. Does handling, wiping the protective slime off, cause any harm ? I have over the years caught a lot of walleye that have what I call tumors or cyst, could this have anything to do with this ? If we have a biologist on board this forum, I wish he'd put his 2 cents in on this.
    This is the information I am looking for. Not to interested in catching sheepshead , after my limit !!! If anyone would like to join our round table discussion at our local watering holye come join us. Bell Mell Tavern in PC. Dang good pizza & spirits !!!
    Again Thanks to All !!!

    I can't find anything wrong with your watering hole, drank more than a few cold ones there myself. Is it still in the same building or have they renovated it?

    In all honesty it would probably have been a better start for you on this forum had you brought those questions to our attention right from the beginning. That way we would know you weren't just trolling the members and was looking for answers to questions you had not asked. I am not being critical, just truthful.

    The answers to your questions would be more readily available at the Ohio Sea Grant web site under sub forum Lake Erie Hot Topics. Like this site it is free to join and it is staffed with people that are educated in the fields your questions fall in. I would post a link but am not at home and find it to difficult to do so on my phone. Just join and post all of your concerns in the same format that you used on this site.

    With all that having been said Welcome Aboard!

    I always thought that some of those are from lampreys... That was just an assumption that I've had, no reason other than sometimes when you catch a fish with a lamprey attached to it they definitely bleed and there is a sore there.

    I always thought it was from the spring river runs. So many foul hooked, then tear free or you land them and release them. I have always smashed the barb on my jigs when river fishing, I think it does less harm to the fish and is way easier to back out. Just a guess.

    Seems like an Dnr officer told me they were old snag wounds from the spring when they are so thick up on reefs and shallows.

    Here is the link to the web page. It looks like they are having spam issues at this time also.
