Lake Michigan chinook salmon fishing 2017. All strikes captured on video! Sam headed back up to join me again, and try and top the giant he caught during our last trip out. See his epic fish here: • Chasing Northern Lake ...
The past handful of years have really been a struggle to catch many salmon in my corner of the big pond. Thankfully we've finally had fishable numbers again. Hopefully this is the new trend, and not simply just a flash in the pan.
I just want to say thank you for your work on your videos.. I not only enjoy them but they help me get through the winter months.
Nice to see you posting again.
Excellent work as usual.
Great Video again, keep em coming.
One armed net job, legend
Good stuff as always!
Been waiting for these vids for a while!!
Kansas Angling Experience Theres more coming soon, too!
Great show! Those were some nice fish there...
Love that you're posting your amazing videos again 👍🏽 awesome stuff! Keep it up! Where'd you get your hat from btw?
+Henry Lopes Thanks! The hat came from fishon energy co. You can find them on the web!
Keep em coming
Holy smokes those some big fish. Well done. *returns to fly fishing for 6" trout in a small stream*
+MrRojoneck Haha. Thank you!
Great job. I went fishing for Kings for my first time last year 7/21/17 out of Muskegon,MI Only landed 3 of 9 Kings. Did not have right kind of net lost 6 monsters at the boat. The 3 landed were 15,17,20 lbs landed 8 lb lake trout 8 lb coho & 8 lb steelhead. Only fished 6:15 to 9:15 PM. Just bought a bigger net today from Detroit Ultimate fishing show.
I'll be up there in Frankfort in 2 weeks, Can't Wait!!
Great to see video from you again, you were AWOL. Wondering how long your leads are on your dipseys? I think I saw snubbers and then a long lead??
+Eric Chou Good to be back :) My dipsy lead is around 10' total, from diver to fly including the snubber.
How did you get the high shot on cam? I'm looking to do that on my boat.
You need to start making videos again!
Nice vids I'm a big fan.... Maybe some single action reels ? For the fun?
hey , can you guys give me some tips on salmon fishing from the prier? what bait to use? what depth to fish at? i see guys there reeling em in one after another... but then again they have 6-7 poles in the water which i think is illegal..
where the hell have you been!!!
What rod do you you for your wire dipsy? That seemed to hammer the kings.
Nice to see you putting up videos again. How was your 2016 deer season?
+Mike DelVecchio It went ok. I was able to take a 2 1/2 year old 8 point with my bow. 👍🏼
Awesome to see Uploads!!! Just ordered a lund myself!! What rod holders and rigging do you have or are they custom?
TheHerb All rigging boat rigging was done myself. The rod holders are Blue Water Fishing Products. I've got 5 per side.
Thanks Thats a beautiful rig man!!
What kind of boat is that?I have been looking at deep v side consoles and that's pretty nice.
Awesome video
When ya got it all together there is nothing better. I'd swing and miss all day. Just for that one good keeper!! Nice video!!
+SCHY MARK Couldn't agree more.
Holy shit you're still alive! I thought you gave up fishing. Where's Rick and the yellow Lab?
707AR15 I'm still around. So is Ric! :)
dead
Looks fun. I forgot what big kings look like. We are only catching kobes on the west side (WI). Sigh. You guys got all the cold water this year. Keep the videos coming. Love it!!
+James Hall Pretty slow season on your side of the pond?
The Consummate Sportsman The Coho run was pretty good. Got in to some decent kings late June, early July. Even the rainbows are scarce. Everybody is fishing for Lakers (kobes). Even the charters.
What’s ur line up how many dips are u running and how many on the down riggers and what else
I notice multiply different reels. Which line counter do you like the best in your setup
Shimano Tekota, hands down!
Which boat and size? I've the Lund Rebel SS 16.5 with Merc 50 4S and considering taking on bigger water on ideal conditions days IE S SE winds under 10. Ontario. And then only a few 100s yards off shore. Limit it to NY Finger Lakes so far. Syracuse NY
just got back from our salmon trip in Alaska, had a blast and came back with a ton of fish. Coho and a few pinks.
+Adam Weber Good eating! Nice work.
We were 1 for 2 last night. Off Onekama ,124 lots of fish and bait. Just got done with salmon dinner and I get to watch some big pigs getting pulled in, sweet. Fish on have fun
+Fish'n Shack Nice work sir!
Good stuff. Were you jigging this past Saturday and had a guy in a kayak come by?
+Jeff Trek No, sir. I took that night off from fishin.
Blue water rod holder? How do you like them? Look nice for the divers. Great video
+Andrew Carver Yes, sir. Good eye! I think they're great. Thanks for checking out my video.
Awesome shit. Gonna hit the rivers when they start moving in?
+Hez Phillips Count on it. :)
Gonna have to do a vid on cooking up salmon!
+Ken T Already done. Check my channel to see it!
How long is the boat in this video
Another great trip, good job.GO GREEN 11 days til greatness.
+Steven Tetreault Can hardly wait!!
Do some more walleye vids too brotherman!
Jake Eads Noted! :)
how do they taste compared to AK saltwater king salmon, have you eaten both ? do you get white meat ones like we do up here in AK ? Sucks we can only troll 1 rod per person up here, what’s water temp ? noticed no life jackets, must be warm.
Give the people what they want!! Love it.
flyboiii28 Hahaha!
Lake Michigan is producing Tunas. Looks like the future might hold many more screamin' lines and smokin' reels.
+Salmax Kayak I sure do hope so, Jason!
Any river king vids coming soon?
Colton Franke Probably ;)
What lake is this?
Those fish dont seem to put up much of a fight once in the boat. How deep are they sitting in the water column?
+Tim Yef In this video they were mostly around 40-60' down.
Would be nice to know what port you're fishing out of, and what's the date. Also would be interesting to know what you're using, how deep, etc. A picture of your total catch would be a nice touch. Could have been a much better video.
I see you have Big Jon downriggers, but what rod holders are you using?
+nogoodnametochoose Those are made by Blue Water Fishing Products
Thanks, Have you used Trackstech products? Looks to be similar stuff.
nogoodnametochoose I haven't used them, no. The blue water design is pretty slick.
A little cramped on deck
why such a long lead between your diver and flasher?
+Joseph Juane It seems to work better for me.
How fast do you guys usually troll on the lakes? Here in WA we troll around 2.5-3.0mph for kings and 3.0-3.5 for silvers. I was just wondering how it compares to our area.
MLGxTSG Exactly the same here!
What area are you fishing? Superior or Michigan?
+Lance V MI
Anyone who knows the area can tell where hes at by looking at the bluff formation. :) Nothing beats Northern Michigan woods, waters, and streams.
Wow your dipsy's are much more productive than your riggers eh? Awesome fish man!
+bgodin23 Sometimes that wire line drives them wild!
The big lake out of Muskegon has been on fire this year, 20+ is not uncommon at all with a few 30s and a 42 so far.
Brendan Beishuizen It's been a wild season in the northern reaches as well. Did you see the other video I recently uploaded?
Things got a little frisky when the lights went out
+Uncut Angling Woooooweeeeee
The Consummate Sportsman - happy to see you're still making videos, you had us worried
Same.
lol.
Great video. Get the smoker and the borax ready.
+Edward Sabo You got that right! Thank you.
Love to hear the clickers go.
I don't anytime anybody is fishing with me they better have that damn clicker off. It's annoying as hell for me.
man I really enjoy your videos and a well rounded fellow.. hit me up let hunt or fish or trap..
+Nick Heyd Appreciate that!
The Consummate Sportsman I'm on southwest side. Kalamazoo. I do it all..
For their size they dont really go anywhere. 20 pound king salmon 2 minute fight, 20 pound king mackerel 300 yard run haha. Salmon is good eating though.
Where you trolling "j plugs"?
+Explicit 12 A few :)
The Consummate Sportsman Were going to buoy 10 this weekend would you be able to explain how you run them?
I like them off a long line like copper or leadcore myself.
The Consummate Sportsman thank you for the info :)
THE RICK
2 guys...6 rods?
+1tabascosauce Not sure what you're asking? Perfectly legal in MI waters if that's your point...?
