I have been an avid BASS and WALLEYE fisherman, and this year got the Michigan unrestricted license, so I want to take advantage of it.
Clinton River, Michigan... My first time out, I was throwing small rooster tails, white 1/4 oz. I was getting several Salmon chasing it down, with a couple of taps but no takes. (2 Hours Out)
Day 2, I decided to stop and get some spawn and sacs and
give it a second try. Well, there was a huge male I saw the day before
that looked pretty nice in size, I went out near dusk and started throwing
single eggs on a hook with a 1/32 oz split shot about 18" from the egg.

After just a few casts on the second day, BAM!
I am hooked up, (reminder, since I am a Bass/Walleye Angler, I went
out with a 7' Shakespear Ugly Stick and Quantum Spinning Real loaded with
100 yards of 8 Pound Spyder wire.) Lets just say once I set the hook it
ran so far, I had no choice to jump in the shallow river and start chasing
it down to get some line back. (No Waders, and COLD water).
Well, to make a long story short after a long hard,
cold battle take a look at what I landed!
