Blackhawk Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 fished from @ 3:00pm - 8:00pm ended up 5/9. Worked between 120' - 150' with the most productive water being 130'-135'. 1 real nice steely on a rigger and all the rest on long lines. We had 4 fish peel line out and come unhooked as we brought the board in. Highlight of the entire day came while pulling lines. I pulled all the dead rods first and was down to a 300 cu and a 200 cu. I got the board off of the 200 cu and was @ half way in naturally cranking it pretty fast and A fish hammers it. What a cool feeling. It peels all the copper back out and plenty of backing until I could get it turned. It was quite nice to fight this monster with only 1 board out behind the boat. After a good 20 min. battle we were successful at landing my Biggest King ever. 24# giant. These fish are amazing to see in person and pictures really don't do them justice. Truly an awesome day to be out on Lake Michigan. I will get some pics posted later today.What worked:200 cu. w/ SS Blue Dolphin mag. spoon 2/3 (small laker and 24# king)300 cu. w/ SS Green Dolphin Mag. spoon 1/4 (5# king )10 color w/ SS Blue Dolphin Regular spoon (4# steely)rigger w/ clear DW paddle/purplish tape and matching fly at 46' (8#steel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Another thing I was surprised with is the big king was a male. They are very healthy this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild@ Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Had that happen twice in the big red classic. 20# king reelin in a meat rig as fast as a could on copper. Then a 17# on the other side. Probably should troll alittle faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 That's what I was thinking. They like a bait running 10 mph 15' - 20' down. Here is a pic from my Phone. I think I got some better ones on the camera. I realized that I am wearing the same shirt that I had on when I got the 22#er. a few weeks ago. The funny thing is my wife told me to change my shirt so I didn't ruin a good one. I think I found my favorite fishing shirt:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
