Nice job, what a great way to get some kids exposed to fishing who otherwise wouldn't get the chance.

Nice job Matt.

Thanks for the report and good luck with the kids!

Nice box there!

Nice catch with some kings in the box! Shallow water and flat seas can be tough sometimes.

Way to fill the box, nice job!

Erik, Hope it's your gall bladder and you can get better quick and get out of the hospital.

I didn't have my scale and we didn't weight it. I'm thinking it was around 19 lbs, mayby a chance it could have hit 20.

Rigel just got home from his first year at college. He has been fishing with me since he was real young. Here's a pic from a few years back at Ludington.

I love my wife, she gave me the green light to go fishing today. We went to St Joe and had a great day on my buddies boat. Started in 45 ft of water a mile north and went north. Slid out to 50 ft of water as we went. Rigel got it started with a nice king at sunrise. We got a couple lake trout and then 2 more kings in the next hour and it died in there. Hit the fish on silver streak blue dolphins on riggers at 35 and 40 ft. A tin can dodger and blue bubble fly took a laker on the other rigger at 45. Had about an hour dry spell, pointed it west and had another hour dry spell. That's when you start to second guess your troll but we stuck with it. When we got out to 78 ft of water, we hit a double and then 2 singles by the time we got to 85 ft of water. All nice kings. Green dolphins on a 10 and 7 color core were good out deeper. We were in the 11's north. Went dry as we trolled out to 95 ft, turned around and went back to 80 ft of water and Rigel got another nice one. Green glow mag DW on a full core. Worked back in to 75 ft. and got a douple with a king and steelie, both hit on green dolphins again, had one on a wire low diver out 135ft and it went twice out there. Turned back out and worked that area over, Rigel got a nice tuna at 12:30 and we ended the day 12 for 17 at 1:00PM. Here the catch. Good luck if you can get out in the next few days!

Great pics, nice job on the fish!

That's a good start to the season, way to go Ken!

Bet you got a nice fight out of the 16lbr!

Nice job during the slowest part of the day.

Thanks for the report!

Nice king, we'll probably fish St Joe tomorrow.

Nice job!

Thanks for the report!

Nice catch!

Way to go Matt, I like splitting up the spread against my buddies too!

Had the oriole's come back this week. We have had a few on our feeder and eating the half orange and grape jelly I put out for them. Wish I could say I took these pics but they came from a friend. She used a set of binoculers on front of her camera. Not sure how she aimed it but they came out good. Thought you might like them.

Nice catch!

That's what you get on mainstream media now. I think showing respect to his body was probably the right thing to do from a diplomatic point of view but personally, I would not have a problem if they cut his head off and kicked it into the sea. The best part about all of this is he got to see it was a US soldier who put a bullet in his head.

Congratulations!

That's a another real nice one!
