most of the fish I caught today were full of eggs. All fish were bonked and gutted then sent back, with exception to a few I left floating for the eagles to get, got a great video of a bald eagle swooping down and grabbing one of my leftovers

The few I get; I usualy cut up for crab bait or do the same as you. Do you know what they do with all the derby fish?
