Lamp Fish

[Jadeo]

I recently checked up on what my area 7 blackmouth had been eating and was suprised to find that the bait inside was somthing that I had not seen before . You can see the glowing patches on their backs and near the tail these ones are 2 to 2.5 inches long.

Lamp fish eh' Never heard of them before Jadeo. Chinook will eat anything they can sink they're teeth into.

Last year I recovered a couple of spiny lumpsuckers out of a 14# Blackmouth that fish had open wounds on his head from digging on the bottom.

Just when I think I am starting to get dialed in over the weekend the MA7 blackmouth were full of green lable and bigger Herring so much for 2 inch long little glowing fish.
