Re: Yellow Labs

I have herd the term before but never a description of how it should be done.  

Just squeeze them like a zit or is there a better way ?

Re: Yellow Labs

Actually, this is one of the things easier demonstrated than described, but I will try. You net the female, and gently force the bouth open with your finger tip, holding the lower jaw extended. While holding her on her side inside the net at the water line, ensuring that at least 1 gill and her mouth remain in the water, you gently apply and release pressure to the upper gill plate. This causes a sort of pumping action within the cavity and forces her to spit out the eggs and or fry. By holding her within the net, the fry or eggs fall safely into the net for easy relocation. Again, something easier done than said.
