slickwater Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 A good friend of mine went out of Manistee this past weekend and they got a 34# king and it was weighed on a certified scale. They sure are running a lot bigger this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALLEYES Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Biggest I ever caught trolling went 35 lbs about 6 hours after I caught it. Chased it around for 45 minutes just trying to keep line on the reel. That was out front of the bath house at Lud. My arms hurt just thinking about it !

DarkBlue Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Wow, I'm surprised I didn't hear about it up here. Was he on a charter/private? Boat name? Would love to track down the info on it, beacuse that's a pig!! I have been pulling low 20 pound fish consistantly here for some time now, and was just saying to my buddy the other night that there will be some 30#s taken out of this port this year. Sincere congrats to your friend, great fish!Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherman51 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 im with all eyes. the biggest and only one i ever caught that was that big was a 35. i caught it in manistee lake about 20 some years ago. we,ve always got alot of 27,s and 28,s there in the fall. i,ve heard of big fish up there but that one is the only miss piggy i ever got that was weighed anyway.i would have loved to have made another trip to manistee this year. but i,ve just had so much going on and the gas gods are being so greedy i just dont think i,ll try this yearsherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimits Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I doubt there will be this big of fish around come end of August, with all this cold water we have now at the pierheads lots of biguns are hittin the rivers for good. Might be slim pickins by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Bomb Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I doubt it...Lots of fish being caught way offshore yet. And some big ones too. From what i hear, its just starting, so id say we have a long ways to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
