Summertime Vacation: 2011 [picture heavy]
 

Took a few days off from reality to spend in Northern Michigan. Weather was awful, many cold fronts moving through made fish moody. Rain was on and off for all 3 days about every half hour, but we made the best of what we had.

First fish of the trip, what a way to start. 5.34 lbs


Downpour Northern


Another Northern Back to Back Casts Downpouring Rain


Another 20+ incher pig


River inlet monster, 20+ inches


18 inch Smallmouth, 3.81 lbs


17 inch Smallmouth, 2.90 lbs


Last fish of the trip, another 20+ inch Largemouth.

some great fish! what did you catch the large mouths on?

Great Fish BH114, CONGRATS! Did something else try to take a bite out of that northern while you were reeling it in?

Wound was healing. I would love to see the fish that put the gash in him though!

All of the big Largemouths came on jigs with trailors and spinnerbaits.

The Smallmouth came mainly on senkos with the occasional one on a spinnerbait.

The topwater bite was nearly non existent with the fronts that were moving through, which was disappointing to me.

Nice fish, looks like a realgood time& vacation.

( maybe the pike was hit by a prop?)
