Last week I reported that I finally caught a fish out of Lake Michigan after years of trying from the piers and never getting anything. That fish was a 21-1/2", 2 lb Northern Pike. Well, today, my friend Jim and I went back to Kenosha Harbor in Kenosha, Wisconsin and tried it again.
This time I caught this monster... a 34", 14 lb King Salmon that's just starting to turn bad! Jim helped again with netting the fish after about a quick 3 minute fight. I lost another fish just a short time before this one was landed. It looked to be a brown trout, but it broke off just when it was perhaps only 10 feet away from me. I was really disappointed. But moments later, this fish tugged at my line! Initially, I thought it was another brown trout, but advice from others and looking closer at the fish's photos, it's definitely a King Salmon. Check out the black jaws... it's a trademark of a King Salmon.
After getting the fish home, I filleted the fish to find that it was a female LOADED with eggs! We are going to use those eggs the next time we go fishing. I gave half of the fish and the eggs to Jim and I kept the other half. Since the fish isn't fully turned yet, it should be ok to eat... I hope!
This photo was taken once again with my LG cell phone. Not bad for a 3.0 Megapixel camera!
The photos below were taken with my Lumix DMC-LX5 camera (it's around my neck in the photo above!)
