Muskegon 6/17 pm quick trip


Recommended Posts

Took my wife out for her first trip on the big lake. It was a spur of the moment deal so we were only able to secure a baby sitter for a very short window.

Started setting lines in 60 fow at about 3:45 pm. Had a tug on the lead core as I was getting it set but missed it. Less than a minute later my 75' copper with a uv blue dolphin started screaming. It was a large steelhead, worked on getting the board in for almost 5 minutes with the fish jumping, pulling the board under, and otherwise putting on a great show before he spit the hook.

Just as we were getting ready to start pulling lines, the copper went again and this time I was able to get the board off and hand the pole to my wife who happens to be five months pregnant. After figuring out where to stow the butt of the rod, she did a great job and boated a 7.5# steelhead.

Pulled the rest of the lines and turned for home at 5:00 pm. Amazing trip but I am afraid that it set the bar too high for my wife on her first trip. Hopefully she's hooked though.
