Reel commentary: Got steelie around 1030 on 100' 30# copper, hit it hard and drag went wild, board went under, got board up and off and brought in nice fish, he did not dance on the water, got two king on SB and port dipseys on 3 out 148 and 160' on the other two above spoons. Got slow so we went stealth and put out a 12lb test walleye rod/reel down 89' on rigger in 150fow, laker smacked it hard we took our time to bring it in. When we pulled lines in 148fow there was a small king on same pole. Some sun, cloudy, a few minutes of sprinkles lazy 1s - 1-2s all day. Read about stealth light line in one of my fishing mag this week and it worked.

Nice day on Lac Mich
