Fished a 37 boat salmon tournament out of Harbor Beach this past Saturday that was put on by Pro King trolling spoons. We ended up weighing 6 lake trout and a coho salmon for a solid 2nd place finish! My crew was my 2 young boys and my dad. We had an absolute blast and made memories for a lifetime. I really can't explain the feeling of having my 2 boys doing a tournament with me for the 1st time ever. It was just priceless.

The boys reeled in every fish except for 1 that my dad reeled in. They weighed the fish and kept a tally for the tournament weigh-in. Here are some photos to help tell the story:

Nice ,it was a little breezy wasnt it?Of course rollers ar better than rough cop.
 
Nice catch, jealous.

Winter here now, so water temps are changing. We are watching reports and weather, yellowfin tuna should be on the chomp soon. We are planning a run out, 20Nm straight out to the continental shelf, see if we can hook up.

Not really Glenn. 1-3's in the am, then 1 and less by 10 am. It was foggy first thing so the radar got a good workout. Actually a beautiful day.

Sounds awesome. Good luck!!
 
Great shots of the boys making memories. Your boat is set up so excellent, makes me feel the need to go out for some stripers!
 
Nice catch and great to see the kids involved. Things are just starting to heat up in Ludington. There's certainly more breakwall visible since the last time I was in Harbor Beach in the late '90s.
