Decided to fish on Saturday as I wanted to watch USA/Mexico on Sunday. Surface temps were 75. Pleasure boaters got pretty bad after 1pm. Contacted 2 fish, but both hit the net. 1 was on my third cast of the morning – I looked down at the graph and saw an arch come off the bottom, I pitched my bait 15' behind the boat, 3 pulls later I get smoked by a feisty 36-37". Didn't see another fish until my brother joined me around 3pm. A couple casts into our second spot his rod just loads up. Fish comes head-shaking to the surface about 20 yards from the boat so we see it's a really good fish. A few more big head-shakes at the boat and she is in the net. The bait was basically completely gone in it's mouth (why you don't use fluoro on jerkabits 😀 ), but only had one hook point stuck near the tongue. We got her unhooked, took a few pictures, and a quick measurement and off she went. I think it's the second biggest fish he's ever caught and the second biggest we've caught in Michigan (including LSC). Bumped out right at 50"!
