I fished it again today, lines in just after 7:00. Caught three fish in the first 30-40 minutes, a baby wiper, a small walleye and a decent one that had a red sore on it. Thought I had it wired. Not. Over the next several hours I caught a catfish, a perch, and a couple walleye big enough to keep.
I fished all over on the west side, from the Light Pole south. I headed back east and called my wife at about 3:20, telling her I only had two fish and would be heading in. Finally ran into some fish that wanted Hot-N-Tots and hit the dock at 5:00 with a full limit of eyes.
I cleaned my catch the usual way and I'm pretty sure my yield was better than with the electric knife. Slower, for sure, but I'll get faster and I feel better not wasting the resource. I may try this method next time:

Single main, no kicker.
