Lampreys hit spoons?

6 Lakers

1 rainbow

And a lamprey fishing Cayuga.

 

Bite was hot from sun rise to 7:30. I'm assuming the eel got snagged when a fish swiped the lure. No way it hit the spoon right? Didn't have time to take a pic. Just returned it to the lake in 5 pieces

I've had a couple this year hooked in the side. I think the fish takes a swing at a spoon and misses and the hook grabs the eel... just an assumption...

We had a lamprey stuck on a meat rig on Lake O.  NO hooks in the eel,
