Re: Creek Chubs as bait?
I was 17, one of my brothers 10, when we fished near Bull's Island on the Big D. Back then I owned a real boat. I had potted minnows in the Little Shabakunk, and one of them was a nice, big, 7-inch creek chub we saved for last & I let Rick use. We tipped jigs with the minnows & caught lots of small walleye (December). Rick heaved the chub and soon braced, fast to something monstrous running upriver. Didn't snap the line, drag set well, but the hook tore off. Big walleye, we supposed, but that could have been a musky he hooked on the mouth edge.
