Little Bay de Noc Fishing Reports

Went out today south of Gladstone and had pretty good luck.  At about 6:35, a fish comes in and smokes a #9 firetiger.  After a pretty good battle, I landed the fish, a 27" eye.  The fish inhaled the bait and was bleeding bad.  I decided rather than wasting the fish, I would keep it.  Here is where it gets fun.  5 minutes later, a TANK smokes the number nine.  After about a 5 minute battle, I get her to the ice.  She is freekin 33" long.  Weighed her on the digital at 12.1 lbs (was bouncing to 12.6).  Shiiiittttttttt, back she goes, guess I saved a few bucks on taxidermy.  Ended up with a limit, the other fish under 19".  Oh well.... Sorry bout the crappy pic but with that wind tonight, I was afraid to stand up for fear of blowing away.
