Reel commentary: There were a few boats fishing piers but we decided to go out deeper. Fished 70-170 straight out and no hits; we did have 3 knock offs on riggers probably sliders that didn't hook up. Had just switched to that grey/pur/sil spoon on main and slider and the steelie hit main hard.

Thought it was only 8-9 pounds, but my digital scale said almost eleven; it was a fat steelhead. Usually they are long and lanky.

Lot of fleas in the water and we marked a lot of flea clouds near the top.
Very few marks and no laker marks for us to bounce the bottom, but a gorgeous day on Lac Mich
