3 or 4 fish over 15# on a Saturday morning would keep me smiling all week. (but I'd definitely be back on Sunday) Strictly Rec. & C&R.

Summer help with sharp clippers?...(joking).

Seriously, in Lk Ontario, they are clipped. Location of clip indicates origin of fish. NYSDEC has estimated 50/52% natural reproduction. Here's an interesting Toronto article indicating Nat Repro:

My gut feeling is that the natural reproduction of Kings is a driver in Ontario's decision to pursue the Atlantic Salmon Stocking at this time.

Don't know if it's an attractant or not but it'll definitely keep the sea fleas in Lake Ontario off your line. Been using it for a few years & it works great.

Mike - Also on lures with the wire eyelet in the nose: bending the eyelet slightly upwards will cause it to have a little more wobble whereas bending it down will cause less wobble. Same effect if you use a tight knot and can keep the knot on top of the eyelet vs making sure the knot is low on the wire. (you also gain or lose diving depth)
