Nobody gives the chumies credit. They are fun when they are semi fresh. Around thanksgiving is when they are a real pain in the arse. Trying to weed through old rotten fish for a steelie is hell on gear \:D
Mike is right about the fresher ones smoking up good. I kept a chrome one from the Penn a few years back and it was great smoked. Probably wont do it agian unless the coho and chinook dissapear.
