Very common every spring ????????????????????????????

I've asked the biologist about it and they say it does them no harm, we get them on Squam too and they are super fat. Not sure about this year, we haven't caught one yet, ugh.

I realy think they should do harm, but I'm no biologist, they are fine to eat unless you eat the guts, ugh.
