Went to UP State NY on my annual fishing trip. Wednesday it was gorgeous so i had to go out back off the dock and catch a couple stripers even tho we were leaving that night and i should of been packin. Drove all night got up there 8 am Thursday. Thursday is was the best day, caught my very first Atlantic Salmon, (not a landlock). Im so happy I caught it. Caught a nice big king and a good brown. hooked and lost a few fish that day. friday same spot. i managed a big brown, a nice steelhead and a king. Caught a few gobys, rock bass and white perch while going after walleye. My first gobys, caught a lot of them. Lost a big brown and what could of been my first Coho. IM ON A MISSION FOR ONE. IT KILLS ME I HAVENT CAUGHT ONE YET. the big brown went under a d**n stringer of fish that was to far out in the water and it broke off.
Saturday was a bit tougher, we fished a few new areas. I hooked into many fish, lost all of them, big fish and super light line, hard to land em. Hooked into a lot of kings, but i was out gunned. Had zero chance. I hooked into a very big brownie. broke off. My buddy said it was at least 15lbs, it was a giant.
after i got back home from the long drive, i saw fish busting out back, grab the rod and caught a couple schoolies on topwater. Now back to reality =(
