Lake Michigan KING SALMON fishing (Summer 2021!!!!)

[@michaelcollins7363]

Great video and some nice fish. Surprised that you would consider tightening the drag on a fish while it was still green. As the spool empties the drag actually gets tighter.

[@themichiganangler4746]

Thanks for watching!!

[@billmcconnell1737]

Talk about a great day on the water. Good friends laughing an catching fish. Fish gods gave ya a bonus for dipping that king out of the water an not letting it go to waste. That's why the spin doctor an the fly was hanging on the line. Great video man. Time to fire up the grill an the smoker now.

[@themichiganangler4746]

Absolutely man! We got lucky getting that rig back lol! Thanks for watching!!!

Love the vids!! What do you guys prefer for down rigger release type? Blacks? Rubber bands?

[@themichiganangler4746]

We use blacks! They always work great

[@jasonnorthrup3579]

[@themichiganangler4746]

Great video guys! How fast were you trolling?

Around 2.3 gps speed most of the day!

[@huckfishing7435]

Hey Guys, my folks live in Manitowoc; I will be coming to USA next summer with my family for a few weeks in July, I'm looking for a charter to do some fishing on the lake, yours was the first video on my YT search and already I like what I see. Would be cool to have a chat with you guys to get something booked in closer to the dates that we will be in country. All the best David

[@huckfishing7435]

Now I see you guys are out of Michigan side of the lake !!

[@themichiganangler4746]

Yes we’re in SW Michigan and I don’t currently do any chartering. Thanks for checking out the video!!!

[@huckfishing7435]

@@themichiganangler4746 No worries man... cool content !! I will find something closer to home.. tight lines bud

[@themichiganangler4746]

Thanks!!!

[@CrouseOutdoors]

Man this makes me pumped to get out this weekend!

[@themichiganangler4746]

😃 o yea!!!!!!

[@frankwalker1075]

I enjoyed watching your salmon fishing video on Lake Michigan. You sure had great action and caught a bunch of nice fish. How far back off the riggers were you running your flashers / flies?

[@themichiganangler4746]

Normally around 35-40ft back depending on how deep we’re setting them !

[@outdoorrn2980]

How is that Hewes craft?....You like it?

[@themichiganangler4746]

It’s an absolutely incredible boat. Fishes Lake Michigan fantastic with the smooth moves seats and we run it in the river all winter long. Great all around fishing machine

[@davidmerriam2287]

The struggle with them drags are reel...Why back drag off that much?To hear the drag scream?

[@themichiganangler4746]

If you leave it tight they pull the hook a lot. When you set the drag while trolling it is super tight to keep them from slipping especially on the big coppers and wire divers. Once a fish hits you back them off slightly.

[@papaguche]

Wow you guys got lucky been along time since ive had a day like that.

[@themichiganangler4746]

Rather be lucky then good I guess!

[@franksantacruz9662]

I think that spoon is call blue jeans by moonshine

[@themichiganangler4746]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@heyitsjustme.680]

Can michigan lake salmon be sushi grade?

[@themichiganangler4746]

I don’t think so

[@sinfulbeliever7083]

I'm surprised a 20 lb king died with the rig in its mouth.

[@themichiganangler4746]

I’ve never seen that in my life?
