Season them on a cedar plank ,  grill them , when the meat gets flakey it’s  done , toss the fish and eat the plank 😜

Big fish! Be kind of like pulling up a 25lb anchor.
 We used to eat smaller lakers out of Seneca and Cayuga. Lemon, butter, salt, pepper...wrap them in foil and toss them on the grill.

Yea, they were claiming that they had good success killing the larva(?) in the tribs. after spawning but they seem to be back.

Do they plant any Atlantics in Lake Ontario? Historically the landlocks were a native species and common in Lake Ontario at one time.

Probably thiaminase an enzyme produced by alewives that causes a thiamine deffiency in the fish.

But they do stock them?
