My opinion on 'stank' livers. Accidentally drop it in the water (unoffical chum). It's too mushy to stay on the hook. I've experimented curing livers with garlic powder in the sun. I can't count the number of times I left them out too long and made a smelly, mushy mess. As suggested by bankpounder buy Food 4 Less @.98 per lb vs. $1.49 - $1.69 per lb. Good luck!!
