Great fishing Wade !!
I hope to get out soon to Lake Michigan to get the salmon run !!

Steve , you fish.
Damn....Your so close to Lake Michigan...
When is the salmon run there.
I have fished in 20 countries and just about every state.
My favorite is peacock bass, in Honduras.
But I like to eat crappie from freshwater lakes.
I fish weekly here on the island, for flounder, specs, red fish.
I have never caught a salmon....
If you may be willing to take some one along, Ill fly up....get a hotel, rent a car and bring my own gear.

And pay for gas...You bring the wine.

Not as big as Wade's but it was my first keeper striper ever...and a pic of all the bluefish we caught too.

Nice fish Derek. I'd like to get back out to Rhode Island on a private charter again!

Here is our catch this week. We are working on Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwaii) and managed to get out for a 6hr trip.
3 chinook salmon, 2 coho salmon and 2 Halibut. We caught more but either lost them or let them go.
This is not even prime season up here yet

 

[LoveTheWine]

40 and 50 lb Halibut caught tonight

holey crap... those are huge. in the gulf of mexico we call them flounder but rarely do we see one above 7 are 8 lbs....

Totally not the same fish. They can and do get into the hundreds of pounds. Nicely done Aaron!

Thanks!

We caught a 67" one as well which is approximately 150 lb!
But this year the rule is everything over about 60 lb must be thrown back

 

[Wade E]

Yeah, we catch flounder here and they are a totally different fish .

 

[jamesngalveston]

they sure look like a flounder...just huge ones. lol

 

[ibglowin]

Sooooooo much better than a flounder! My favorite fish these days pretty much. Hard to get it fresh for me, every once in a while Costco will have it fresh down in ABQ and I will snag a few pounds for the grill.

Won't tell you how much I have in the freezer then...
You may get a little mad at me

Another odd ball.

Seriously can't we catch anything normal looking.

 

[ibglowin]

Are you fishing in the cooling tower ponds of a nuclear power plant by chance!

That would explain it but no. We were on the ICW.

 

[ShelleyDickison]

Yeah I finally caught something normal looking.

Is that a shark?
