congratulations mike and ron for bringing him on board. when you sent me the pic vs phone i drop my rod i was casting with and just sat there staring at that big salmon. thanks for the invite all week to just cant make it out during the week for awhile . like jeff says another forum member scores with the lci basin derby . a great bunch of fisherman having fun.
Memorable day today! Bite was on just before the Polar Vortex crashed the party later this afternoon. We all know the big fish come out to feed with a south blow and an approaching cold front. Mike and I had a heck of a time getting traction launching out of Converse at 7:30 am. I decided with the choppy seas to store the Lite Bites in the side rod holders and go with a 4 rigger program. Our issue was I put the wrong bent finned weights on the side riggers so they were running into the corner riggers. After an hour of untangling and detangling the weights we ended up in the ozone about 400 plus feet of water with the rigs now running correctly. Turned around being pushed by the big following seas as the 60 ft port corner rigger snapped off on Mike's side and the fight was on! 15 minutes later we put the big Ontario net under the best fish to come aboard for me on this lake in 37 years. Yes...proof lamprey control is working!
Congrats Mike!
