Big King Chasing: Northern Michigan Salmon Fishing

Armed with Fire Cure skein salmon fishing can be epic in Michigan. Drifting down the river with Kyle McClelland of XXL Chrome Chasing we caught dozens of big Northern Michigan king salmon as you'll see in this episode of Pautzke Outdoors filmed only feet from the Lake Michigan shoreline.

Love those bobber down close ups ❤️

[@ilovefriedrice9891]

"right in the mouth" then @ 1:09 shows a spring snagged right under the eye lol

[@TeamPautzke]

Look again.

[@shawnbowen6833]

Lol yeah dont know what the look again is for...you can clearly see the hook right under the eye. Look I love your guy's product and use them and will continue to so you dont have to sell me on them but you put that shot in the video and fish was clearly hooked under the eye not "in the mouth". Honestly it doesnt even matter, when a fish hits something sometimes they do get hooked outside the mouth. I've watch fish hit my spinners and be hooked outside the mouth cause the hook flips up when they strike it. $#!t happens. But the image doesn't lie.

[@ilovefriedrice9891]

@@shawnbowen6833 thank you, you took the words right out of my mouth

[@perciviljoe4104]

Pink has to be the best colour. Works great for every type of fish that I've come across. Cheers

[@memosvlogs7904]

What's the name of the river.

[@360fishingadventures8]

What is that song at the beginning?🐟🎣🤟 Tell me where the fish are!

[@michaelgorogianis8571]

I have had 25 plus fish days on the PM.

[@Exite21]

I've lived in northern michigan (petoskey/boyne city area) my entire life and i'm just getting into salmon fishing. Never woulda known how amazing it is here unless i stumbled upon your videos and some others. Completely shifted me from bass/panfish/pike fishing to salmon fishing! Cheers!

[@outdoorwarvetitsavedmylife7094]

Im originally from East Jordan and i caught my first salmon with help at 2 years old off the docks. Im sorry but living in that area all your life and took you watching these videos .

[@funnynader9149]

Hey man if you need a good salmon spot go to the bear river down in petoskey and where the Boyne River starts in Boyne city

[@edwardkline3552]

What rod and reel combo are you using there?

[@angelgarcia168]

I want to take some red fire cure up to Ludington next week!!!

[@cruss4543]

What pound test is your leader?

[@calebhenderson6766]

Where in northern Michigan

[@carlbeutler1663]

Apparently you haven't watched the video. He described the main line, but not the leader. Flouro, or mono and what test?

[@TeamPautzke]

We stand corrected and will ask Kyle to address this. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@NWJonathan]

Looks like fun !!! Nice Kingers on them cured up nugs. 👊🏿 Use your folks bait cures mostly for Steelie cures. Fish well & catch fish. Even 2+ year old cures I have jarred up in my bait freezer. My question is why all the split shot & no bait weight or even a sliding pyramid weight ? Just seems like a lot of overkill where as one sliding weight does the trick for us in the PNW. Thanks for the good videos & good fishing to y’all. 🤘🏿🎣🤙🏿

[@outdoorwarvetitsavedmylife7094]

Yep im about to do a video hahaha im sorry bro 12 lb maxima main with free floating wait pflueger 40 president 10 lb leader maxima with mister twister beads, trout beads, or any fly. Leader line 2 pieces big fly to small fly or dual snell knot hooks on a 10 foot leader. Second set of steps at tippy i landed it where i caught it 24 lbs 381/2 inches it pulled me across the river and i pulled it back. My pole is a fenwick hmx 10'6. Same reel same line i used a 9 foot okuma conniseur and pulled in a 30 lber last year no fish stories. I HAVE PICS TO FOR PROOF

[@scurrygury]

Every pautzke cure done right catches fish!!! I catch fish behind ppl that use the same cures and still wack em, we fished behind Kyle Monday and Tuesday this week and doubled his boat numbers....again done right even fished behind others using same stuff I still catch fish with pautzke!! 😂😂

[@miyak6971]

I'll be in South Haven on the black river next month. Any advice? I've not fished river systems before. I'll bring a few spinning set ups with all the tackle mentioned in the video but what kind of bait did you use again? Are eggs usually sticky like that straight out of the package? Like I said I am really unfamiliar with River fishing and salmon fishing but want to give it a shot while up there.

[@briobrio6047]

How heavy is this guys leader line Have no fricken clue How the line never snaps clean 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@outdoorwarvetitsavedmylife7094]

How about i take you fishing im by far not a pro but i can show you how to cach 20 and 30 lb salmon on 12 lb test and 10 lb test main 10 and 8 lb test leader.

[@wilsonflanders878]

Best egg cure.pink and red fire cure is the colors of fire cure I use

[@TeamPautzke]

Wilson - you're the winner. Thanks for participating. Please email [e-mail] with your address.

[@wilsonflanders878]

Pautzke Bait Awesome !! Thank you and I will

[@stanperry4224]

Is this Sault Ste. Marie? I fished the st. Marys river Labor Day weekend 2018 talk about the one that got away didn’t have the right pound line on

[@michaelcrim7903]

Would love to try some different colors. . Didn’t have any luck with red or orange.

[@erwinjockers8783]

Was ist das denn? Wenn ich angeln gehe, behalte ich den Fisch und nicht anders rum! Was für ein Dummkopf ist das denn?😈😈😈😈

[@Hopeknives13]

BoraX fire the natural. For fire dye only tried the chartreuse worked on minnows

[@rahmonster24]

What kind of line you using under the float?

[@FishingTheOdds]

epic fishery man! nice video

[@caceriaypescaenmichigan3205]

Hi what kind hooks and size you use??

[@chromedruggie]

Will egg sacks work for these big Michigan salmon?

[@TeamPautzke]

Some use them, but most use skein.

[@WNYFishing]

Favorite is orange fire cure

[@jakeo5651]

Love the videos......Toledo area here. I fish Erie hard.

[@aldodaniel1986]

I love how you voided the warranty on your rod: “this is a hmx rated 10-20lb........ yeah for the main line I use 40lb power pro....” lol it’s all good tho! Great video!

[@heavyd2249]

Braid is thinner than mono bro

[@tomm.9893]

He's probably tapered down to a 14# floro leader... So not voided

[@tronnspace9052]

Excellent video guys. Any chance you guys could come over to Washington State to do some videos on the upper Columbia River .

[@TeamPautzke]

Tronn - at some point it's on the list.

[@dakotamock9296]

That would be epic Hanford reach is where to go go or Drano lake.. that would be epic.

[@karolkeller3850]

Anyone else completely annoyed that they say "catch them in the mouth" but everytime they show a close up of the fishes head its hooked from the outside in not the inside out? Obvious sign of flossing and not the fishing actually taking it into the mouth. Legan snagging that all it is.

[@TeamPautzke]

Hi Karol, Do you salmon fish much? If you do, you'll know that it's hooked in the mouth. Check out the rig used - and it will help you understand better. Thanks for tuning in!

[@zachbenson2818]

Ya Carol, do u even fish bro ?

[@alexbardsley3593]

Red and pink fire cure is the best

[@calebhenderson6766]

Where are fishing

[@TeamPautzke]

Northern Michigan

[@imtryingnow4591]

probaly Galien River Stream in new buffalo Michigan in

[@flyboiii28]

Does coho or chinook skein Work better?

[@SnipingCreatively]

Pink rose fire cure

[@shawngunn1958]

Red fire cure is what i use

[@thegoodenoughangler]

Did you say 40 lb power Pro or 14 lb?

[@1tabascosauce]

Fish'n Reels most likely 40. 14 would be too thin and will dig in your reel when u get a fish on.

[@jakesarnicola3508]

Red is by far the best

[@jimmypower9524]

Red fire cure 100%!

[@briobrio6047]

Line??

[@betthat313]

What # leader line are you running?

[@glennybanez2472]

I heard Kyle say 20lb test line on a 40lb braid

[@rdmendoza11622]

What kind of reel is he using?

[@TeamPautzke]

Flueger President, we think

[@tylerhoughton4336]

okuma trio 100%

[@GeorgeD519]

Running braided line on spinning rods lol

[@TeamPautzke]

Sure looks like it worked.

[@migletpiglet9722]

George Duchene lol is there something wrong with braid on a spinning reel? You seem smart... lol jk

[@glennybanez2472]

You guys forgot about the swivel and his leader line lol .seems he's doing something right and it's not a snag .

[@WNYFishing]

I do it all the time, you must be uneducated

[@migletpiglet9722]

i agree XD what a dumb comment "running braided line on spinning rods lol" very uneducated

[@kumbofishingusa]

I am brand new creating my youtube channel few months ago. How do I get there from Ohio to that river.? Thanks

[@tuggspeedman9628]

lololololololololololololoool

[@carlbeutler1663]

What are you using for a leader?

[@TeamPautzke]

Carl - we believe Kyle goes over exactly what he's using in the video.

[@tylerlivingstone3641]

Never leader weight size

[@adamwagaman1279]

I would love to go on a trip to catch kings can you please give me some info for the kings

[@briobrio6047]

adam wagaman if u live near any fishing shops stores ask around Also if I live near any Great Lakes or oceans fish some of the major rivers that are very close to it Use this guys techniques ...

[@Carsonsteelheadfiend]

How do you change depth with this set up

[@dannygaribaldo1239]

carson reau. Bobber stop.... Just slide it up and down on your desired depth

[@CeeEmmz]

short rod and spinning reel instead of centerpin... wtf!

[@glennybanez2472]

Nothing wrong with his techniques,he's catching them,legallyhooked in the mouth.many ppl prefer to fish what they're comfortable with ,I'm one of those.

[@TeamPautzke]

Sure looks like it worked well.

[@CeeEmmz]

i guess so.... just surprised how this guy catches a beast like that with a short rod lol

[@187pornifier]

what pound test leader were you using ? looks like a lot of fun

[@TeamPautzke]

We believe Kyle mentions that info in the video. If not, please let us know and we will call him and ask.
