Just for perspective, I remember back in the 60's at a little fishing camp somewhere in central Canada the owner would fire up his lawnmower and stroll around the camp emitting a prodigious cloud of smoke for the bugs. He had a gallon can wired to the handles and a thin tube running to the muffler dripping a mixture of used motor oil and DDT. I'll bet neither your gizmo nor your mosquitos are as harmful as that rig! Oh well, the fishing was good for pike and walleye and I'm still fishing. Great adventure and a couple slob flatheads!

Hard to beat a straight shank twelve ot stainless eagle claw. Dont know what you were using but use big j-hooks for flatties. Big crick is way up so them little cricks are schizna right now.

Yes indeed, Dandies bro! 🤘🤘✌️, I used to fish the paylakes back in the day, 90's, but I know of several fellas, including myself, would catch the same flathead like 5 or 6 times in a 24 hr period, either their just really hungry or have a short term memory, maybe a little of both, long as they get released pretty good and not hurt too bad, meaning not hooked too bad, they'll keep coming back.
