Trolling for BIG King Salmon on Lake Michigan

Our last morning of fishing Lake Michigan. Camden had to leave the day before, so Ben and I fished by ourselves. It was an interesting start to the morning as Ben's batteries didn't charge. We lost our graphs and auto-steer right away in the morning after setting rods, but it didn't seem to matter!

Love the chaos!! That's part of the fun catching these fish!

[@crazydave2825]

Epic day with a hot bite. Love it when fishing turns into a fire drill. Congrats.

[@JasonSwingen]

Thanks! It was a crazy morning 👍

[@todd7951]

This is insane. We used to do this almost every year with my grandparents, before they got to old. I miss it so much...

[@JasonSwingen]

Yeah man, it's just a cool experience out there.

[@baccoff3308]

Nice video!

[@sinfulbeliever7083]

When you can't even set up your rods cause the fish bite too often is a spectacular day.

[@ryancline3192]

Looks like you guys had some real problems there… Great job!!! Great video. Salmon candy? What port?

[@JasonSwingen]

haha thanks! Yep salmon candy. I can't remember the exact boards and flies, but we ran quite the variety and they were all getting hit. Went out of Sturgeon Bay

[@bidencrimefamily2484]

Some days you just land on them with all the rite baits! Good job with the fire drill. What camera are you using?

[@JasonSwingen]

Thanks! It all went fairly smoothly! I was using a GoPro Hero8 Black. It worked well for the wide angle shots, but should have had more lights on the boat.

Great job working together to land those Kings! What leader length are you using behind the Pro toll attractors and what trolling speed are you going, thanks.

[@JasonSwingen]

Thanks! I think we were using 24" leaders from the flasher to the fly. Mainly hitting 2.3mph to 2.6mph

[@mikeradcliffe2266]

I'd say you had them dialed in that day

[@JasonSwingen]

Yes we did! Thanks for watching!

[@jkoco199]

Great video!! What make and model of boat is that?

[@JasonSwingen]

It's my buddy's Neptune. I'm not sure of the model. He had just gotten it and fixed it up.

[@DawsonJohnson-du8ci]

How far do you guys generally run your flasher fly combos behind your dipsy?

[@JasonSwingen]

About 12'. Too much longer and it's really difficult to get them in the net.

[@richardbreslin5111]

What port you fishing out of?

[@JasonSwingen]

We were fishing out of Sturgeon Bay
