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.

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.
