Awesome vid.....fantastic majestic macs!!! Wow....thanks Eric and the whole crew. Sooooo envious of this beautiful resource that must be protected. This fish native to the Great Lakes has struggled past all the obstacles placed before it...and flourished. What an awesome story!!!
Nice fish. Glad u preach about catch and release. That way they get a chance to grow bigger and then we can all catch some and release them. Nice fish.
Thank you for practicing catch-and-release! Hopefully one of those decent-sized Lakers you're releasing will turn into a monster pushing World Records. I can see it happening on Lake Michigan. I pretty much do the same thing, unless I'm looking for food fishes, I'll keep the smaller ones, this is in land of course. Lake trout is one of my bucket list fish. Any idea when they plan on reopening that Oak Creek Power Plant for the season? I hear they close it for the winter season. Also, how far of a walk is that from the parking lot, I'm disabled and can't walk very far.
Hey Eric, I’ve never fished there but am planning on giving it a try this year. How long of a net do you need to reach the water there? Thanks for the great vid!
Hands in the gills?? Not good for the released fish for sure. What is the mortality rate of a fish once caught, fought, held in open air for the amount of time shown etc and then released? Again, from what I have read, not good. Still nice fish for sure.
I have a question Eric. So this was filmed in mid-September. Is it common in September for Lake Trout to show up like that in the discharge, or can they be found in there anytime of the year?
I agree 100% Ultimately it is the choice of the person who caught the fish. If it is legal then keeping it is fine if you would like to eat it. Somewhere along the line everyone started thinking keeping a few to eat was taboo. I just don't get it!
salmon is only a 4 year old fish, max, so they are fine to keep if you want. But those lakers are old - and they would NOT be good to eat. Not only because of their size, but because they are so old, the concentration of mercury in their flesh would not be a fish you would want to eat. Of course, the spawning factor is another reason to let huge and mature fish go.
MI Outdoorsman yeah what’s up with that? Every fishing video makes a specific appeal about releasing the fish like you have a moral responsibility to do it. That’s what a limit is for
I've heard after 53 plus degree water 45-50 percent of the fish u release die... I live the encouragement to release non-eaters and so on. up here in Duluth lake trout are abundant, can hook into some real pigs! wish we had stronger king populations and size, as well as coho! got both just not same sizes and abundance
U talk about catch and release. Then u lay it on dry concrete, put your fingers up in his gills, u dont use a rubber net, etc etc.. u definitely need to learn more about how to properly handle fish because u suck at it. Taking their protective slime off of them makes them more acceptable to disease.

Wow! Great video and info, Eric!
Awesome videos, love the fact you put them back! That's the love of the sport!
Very jealous of your numerous places to catch massive salmon and trout species, definitely considering fishing around lake michigan in the future

Thanks for the great vid!
Great way to get “hooked up”! Awsome!
As soon as he said he'll give him away the old guy was like YUUP
lmao
How long of a net do you need at the power plant? What do you charge as a guide to go fishing?
What time of year was this? I know it was not filmed nov 18th! Any suggestions for this time of year?
you make the best videos
I thought you're not supposed to hold them by there gills. Is it okay to do that with lake trout
What to catch in mid July?
Eric, were the salmon landlocked?
VERY NICE FISH!
Nice !
you put up the best vids nice job bro
realbigdawg91 Thanks so much!!
@@wibigfishcom what month of the year do lakers generally accumulate; in southern l. michigan....fall??
Eric - what rod and reel do you recommend for this type of fishing? Thanks1
8 to 10 foot medium action casting or spinning.
@@415fishing4 is fishing allowed here 24/7
Hands in the gills?? Not good for the released fish for sure.

Again, from what I have read, not good.
Still nice fish for sure.
It’s not a brook trout. Lake trout aren’t trout at all, they are a species of char.
@@heydudeyahbro5492 Brook trout are charr too dude
What would be a good net length to land fish from a wall like that?
at least 15"
What month did you go
I have a question Eric. So this was filmed in mid-September. Is it common in September for Lake Trout to show up like that in the discharge, or can they be found in there anytime of the year?
only when the water in the shallows is really cold
What time of the year did you guys flim this?
Sept.
Great Videos, dropped a sub and like !!
Will all of these techniques apply to superior?

Those old lake trout wouldnt be good eating anyways
Unreal
What rod were you using Eric?
Surpise you haven't got into the centerpin fishing

I don't fish for sport. I catch & eat. I would love to catch a King and large trout.
