Lake Michigan King Salmon SEASON FINALE! North Manitou Madness out of Leland | 14 Bites, Big Kings

The LAST salmon trolling run of our 2025 season — and it turned into absolute chaos! We launched out of Leland Harbor, cruised past Fishtown, and made the run to North Manitou Island with Nate and Mike from the Northwest Michigan Fishing Club. From the first rod firing to the final heartbreak in the dark, this was non-stop Great Lakes action.

🎣 14 Bites — Back-to-Back Chaos:
1️⃣ Chrome Live Wire Spin Doctor + Pickled Sunshine meat rig (port diver)
2️⃣ 450 Weighted Steel + veteran A-Bomb MagSpoon (CV55 reel, Blood Run steel)
3️⃣ Chrome Two-Face Spin Doctor + Rapture Frosted Fern (high diver, 10'6" rod, CV30)
4️⃣ Kevin’s Girlfriend wired ivory rig (captain’s side wire diver, CW45 reel)
5️⃣ 11" Dreamcatcher paddle + Pickled Sunshine fly
6️⃣ Chrome Live Wire + Pickled Sunshine meat rig again!
7️⃣ 300 Weighted Steel + Silver Horde Green Cop Car plug
8️⃣ Dreamcatcher paddle + Pickled Sunshine fly (again!)
9️⃣ Kevin’s Girlfriend meat rig on a 10" paddle, wire diver
🔟 Raspberry Carbon MagSpoon (port downrigger)
1️⃣1️⃣ Dirty White Boy free slider (port rigger)
1️⃣2️⃣ Green Cop Car on 300 Weighted Steel (round 2!)
1️⃣3️⃣ 200 Weighted Steel + Moonshine Agent Orange spoon
1️⃣4️⃣ FINAL BITE: 450 Weighted Steel + A-Bomb MagSpoon — MONSTER KING breaks off in the dark 💔

🧰 Gear that got it done:
Okuma rods & reels (CV30, CV55, CW45) • Dreamweaver paddles & Spin Doctors • Rapture Frosted Fern fly • Pickled Sunshine meat rigs • Moonshine spoons (Agent Orange, Raspberry Carbon, Dirty White Boy) • Silver Horde Green Cop Car • Blood Run weighted steel & diver wire • Fish Hawk Lithium probe dialed in the temps

🌙 Aftermath:
From the chaos on North Manitou to the Elmwood fish cleaning station, we fired up the Bubba electric fillet knife and packed away a season’s worth of chrome memories.

If you love **Great Lakes King Salmon**, wire divers screaming, and heavy steel ripping in the dark — THIS is the season finale you’ve been waiting for. Jigging season starts next, so make sure you’re subscribed to ride along.
