Sounds to be tapeworms, DNR has reported an increase in infections. Here's a few posts and picture on it. Talks about cooking the meat thoroughly and if safe to eat. https://www.michigan.gov/documents/dnr/tapeworm-walleye_231757_7.pdf;  https://www.michigan-sportsman.com/forum/threads/walleye-with-worms-pictures.288231/

Those are great fish Mike, keep bringing em in

Looking for a 14'-16' aluminum fishing boat preferably with live-well(s), tiller motor, or with no steering wheel column. If pictures are available it would help. If you have or know someone that has one please message me here.

Nice fish Roger! Well done. Tell the little lady Hi for me

Nice boat and lots of deck room! Congrats.

Nice job guys!

Thanks Matt for having me on the boat. Could not have asked for better weather. It was a great time and I learned alot. :thumb:I will get to the rods a little faster next time!

Good job! :thumb:Congrats on a good day of fishing.

new pictures up much nicer

Nice fish Teresa! Congrats on the nice day of fishing guys.

Nice catch guys! Looks like you got some really nice fish. Congrats on the good trip.

Nice job Mike!

Lmao, thanks for that story Mike. I needed that laugh. But you also made me rethink about trying to launch a boat with my stickshift truck. I can only hope that I will never be in need of a tow truck at the launch. Good luck fishing and keep your head above water.

hey GLF i gave him my vex when i was at 15 fish.... he refused to move because he was cold, he dont jig, me and terry watched him miss fish right in front of us!! lol sea mac should stick to the big lake lol but it was a great day, great time on the ice,

What a GREAT way to thank a guy for taking you fishing lol. If you think he is such a bad fisherman, why do you have his signature under your name..: confused: Everytime I have gone fishing with Mike he has done great. Somedays we hit em, somedays not a bite.. good luck

In my opinion you have become a seasoned fisherman when you're body gets to old and just wont let you get out there anymore. I have been fishing with my own boat on the big water for 7 years and by no means consider myself a seasoned veteran, experienced maybe but always learning and willing to help. I think it is a continues learning process no matter how long you have been fishing. Whether we realize it or not I think we learn something new on ever trip.

Best advice I can give to someone starting out salmon fishing is to ask questions on these forums (no matter how silly the question may seem) and attend some of the league tourney's. I have learned alot this way and most of us are willing to go out of our way to help and we are ok with it. We were all there ourselves at one point and someone has helped us so we are just paying it forward.

I agree with Matt, I seem to learn more and more everytime I come to the forums. I have only been going out for 2yrs now and if it wasen't for the help of others on this site I would have never got into the fishing or tournaments.

As for the lead core, it hurts but it sure does bring em in lol. The first time I was taken out and Sea-mac said the rookie gets the 10 color, I was like what the heck is that? Well of course that sucker had to go off and I swear 20 mins into it my arms were frooze up and falling off. Once I got the King in the boat and got feeling back I thought, that was worth it and if that is the only way they are getting in the boat, BRING IT ON. Thanks guys!!

Nice job guys.

What a great way to spend the 4th with the kids, FISHING!! Nice job Mike.

Nice Job Mike. Hope that you start getting the big ones in the boat soon!! Let me know when you want to have a powderpuff day.

Glad no one was hurt. Hope you get a nice replacement!! Looking forward to fishing with you both soon, June 1st. NO FARMING!!

Aww, that is too cute! She goes where you go...and gets em in the boat. Lucky man.

Nice!! 2-2 You two are already ahead of most of us. Teresa, still looking forward to another powder-puff trip..

I plan on being in Muskegon with Sea-Mac, slaughtering the fish. Hopefully they will still be there..... I wish everyone a great holiday weekend.

I am tring to find someone to tune up my motor, preferably around Central or Northern Michigan. Does anyone know anyone good that might work on an old 1969 90 hr Evenrude outboard?

Thanks for your help and let me know.

Yes Nick, it was dumb luck. Or, maybe, it could have been the crew he had with him? But either way, it was a great time and a big thanks Rich, Dreamweaver, and everyone that made it happen. I had the best time!!

Glad to hear that it was a good trip...Congrats.
