A Fish That I wish I had caught

So two days ago I get an invite from my buddy to hit Lake Michigan on a Charter Boat.  We end up going on a great one north of Milwaukee, in a town called Port Washington.  Not a lot of fish on a beautiful day, but the few fish we hit....we HIT!!!!  I brought my two oldest kids, Brett and Jake.  We had a blast and Jake caught the fish of his life.  A 10 pounder, that.....over the years,

WILL BECOME A 20 POUNDER!

What a great picture and memory for all of you!  Thanks for sharing that and reminding me that all work and no play...does something -  I can't remember... but's not good!  So I need to go do something like this with the family.

Hi Larry,

 That is a great fish. I bet you all had a wonderful time and Jake should be very proud. These are the Kodak moments that count and these memories are the best.

I have a Marine buddy in Muskegun, MI that I visit almost every year to go salmon fishing off Lake Michigan and Muskegon Lake. It's fun and the fish are very nice. Biggest One I caught was 21 lbs. Average are about 14-17 lbs.
