It was nice meeting you Mike. My friend from Chicago was adamant about weighing the fish, thank goodness Terry had a scale.

Good point Clyde. I almost always forget to save the heads while cleaning until Jeff mentioned he saves the heads for a friend that uses them to make fish stock.

22lb female caught in 100 FOW on a downrigger 90 down using a white flasher with pearl tape and artic blast fly. 28.5 male caught in 85 FOW on 200 copper using a yellow ladder back Lyman plug. The 22 pounder caught on Saturday was my personal best until today . Thanks to Jeff on Veni Vidi Fishi for helping me break a day old record with a 28.5 pound hog!

Nice work Jarod.

Nice report Ben and congrats on the on the monster fish.

Ok, I just want to make sure you know there's a nice fish cleaning station in Holland. It beats having all the blood and guts at the house.

Thanks for the report Aaron. Sounds like you showed your riders a good time with rods going off 26 times!

Nice job Vyju. Are you cleaning those fish at your house?

Nice job. Did you mark an fish in close?

Robert, If you can't get your friends to buck up, post on the riders section on here. You shouldn't have any issues finding crew members.

I have a 2010 model year Minn Kota 65 pound thrust, 24 volt Power Drive that I would like to trade for something with ipilot or autopilot. I would be willing to add cash. Please PM me if you are interested.

Jon, Dave is made of money. He paid the professionals to do the work.

Friday- Went 9 - 14 in 90-110 FOW on a north troll straight out from the pier heads. 2.7-2.9 SOG. Saturday- Went 5 - 10 in 90-120 FOW on north and south trolls. 2.4-3.2 SOG. I don't recall all the exact details since I was preoccupied resetting lines, but here is a brief recap of set ups that took multiple fish. Rigger 90 down - white paddle with pearl tape, arctic blast fly. (ON FIRE) Dipsy 225 ft out - green and white spin doctor w/ hammered back, green headed meat rig. Copper 300 ft w/ 2 oz dive bomb - green spatter j plug Copper 300 ft (32lb) - Mountain Dew flasher, Mountain Dew fly.

Thanks for the detailed reply. 3 for 7 is a good day especially for a solo trip.

Did he tell you how deep in the water column he was fishing?

Good luck tomorrow. Please post how you do. I will be taking a few newbies out in the evening, hoping to get them on some big fish.

The Little Hooker is in.

Great job! Do you have a picture of the 27 pounder?

Thanks Bob. I'm glad you found some to play with. I would have ran right last them.

As of right now I am out as well. I'll keep an eye on the forecast the rest of the day to see if it will lay down. I can do 1-2 in my 16 footer, but 2-4 is a bit too rough for me.

Great job and congratulations on limiting out.

Had a great day on the lake today going 7 for 8. Best waters were 90-110 with a troll speed of 2.7-2.9 SOG. All directions took fish. Blue Benny- Braid Dipsy - 2.5 setting out 100 - 1 coho, 1 king, 1 miss (snapped the leader). Smurf - free slider - DR down 80 - 1 steel. Happy Meal - 300' 32lb copper - 1 steel, 1 king. Smash Mouth - 300' 45lb copper - 1 laker, 1 king.

Thanks for the report. Could you tell which direction the current was heading?

Awesome! Thanks for setting this up Jon.
