  1. They are called kings for a reason. If you are catching smaller fish, steelhead are more fun and coho taste better.
  2. Wouldn’t it be nice to catch a fish heavier than the lb test line you use?
  3. If I wanted quantity I would perch fish. Charters can typically provide numbers regardless if big kings aren’t the goal. 1 30lb king is way better than a bunch of 10-20lb. Part is the fight, the other is the memories. I do think you can have both, time will tell.
  4. Zach are these ratchet?
  5. Ttt
  6. Bump
  7. I am pretty optimistic for next year.
  8. Maybe next year will be epic with all the 2-3 being 3-4 next year.
  9. KD tournament in WI I believe the top 10 were all 30lb and up. In MI a one day tournament this weekend, biggest king was 34lb I believe. They are also have the quantity like lake O this year. Not too long ago kings were small and limited in number. Might be worth looking at their approach as of late
  10. I think you catch bigger fish on plugs year around from my experience. I think it depends on quantity vs quality but I have a plug out most of them time year round. I took a couple decades off salmon to pursue Muskie and having come back to salmon I am still finding they like big baits.
  11. Our largest king, 42lbs came on a larger plug behind a dipsey, but has been awhile. We also took our largest Lake Michigan kings on j plugs behind dodgers, sometimes being a bit different gets you difficult fish. Heck they use spin n glow for kings in Alaska.
  12. Bump
  13. The system is $1479, additional probes $599. This is from FB, so who knows if accurate.
  14. Open to offers. Thanks
  15. It basically the best of the other two products in one that appears to be simple to use. From two established companies, I am really looking forward to learning more.
  16. If cost is right, that is a game changer, no transducer or head unit.
  17. Yes either works. They are not line counters though.
  18. These are not line counters. New in box, $300 for both shipped in US. Thanks
  19. Like new with updated drag and fresh service. $200.00 for both shipped in US.
  20. Bloodrun 30lb says it breaks at over 40lb. Big game 30lb is a 50lb IGFA line class, so there isn’t likely as big of difference.
  21. What do inexperienced anglers do to break 25lb line? If you went to 50lb leader wouldn’t they just break the 30lb wire then?
  22. It is used a bunch in other Great Lakes to avoid cranking 400 - 600 feet of copper
  23. Having a smaller boat back in the day we consistently took larger kings is far too warm of water for the typical comfort zone but it was better than not fishing. So I do believe plenty stay in warmer water all year.
  24. You caught your limit back then as well just the fish were much bigger. Giant kings and steelhead. You didn’t have to know what you were doing either, I was able to catch them:-) you had quality and quantity.
  25. Bit of 40lb nostalgia, going through older photos from our Lake O trips. It is a different experience. I am personally a quality vs quantity person. I do understand the draw of numbers though. I netted a bunch of big kings but personally only caught a 28lb for my best. We will see, maybe I can get a 30 someday.
