partsman 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2022 Wow, beautiful fish denduke and cool video. We used to have a good salmon fishery here in Michigan, still some on the west side but not much on the east side. Thanks for sharing. Mike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WWKimba 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2022 One question - was the rod in your mouth while you were CATCHING that fish!? That's the size fish I tell stories about long after I caught a 8incher. I always figured that after the years went by the fish must have grown! Nice catch! Kim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
