5/17/2012 1:40:00 PMThanks Toni, they are some beautiful fish! I am a big guy and those fish dont look small. The quality of fish on American this year is awesome! Next time I see you out there I will say hi for sure. The wind was blowing me all over this morning. For the first time ever I trolled with my 25 horse and didnt use the electric. Makes me wonder if that helped?

5/17/2012 8:10:00 PMMike@bills, how did the recon trip to Lake Stevens go? Did you have a chance to read my recent kokanee blog? I hope it helps out for the derby on Saturday.

5/18/2012 8:14:00 AMThanks rseas I did just read your blog and made a comment. After seeing it I kinda want to write something for American since I would say I probably fish it more than most. It is good to get this kind of info out to people so they can be as successful as the next guy. After getting this limit in the picture I stopped by 3 boats that I recognized and gave some advice and even gave away some gear to help one guy. I enjoy it when other people catch fish just as much as I enjoy catching them.

5/18/2012 2:49:00 PM@ screamingeagle ,keep up the good work out there and props to you for having a great year.
Mike@Bills
5/20/2012 8:42:00 PMI ended up giving away some gear that day too. I saw some people out on the water I knew and gave them all the info they needed to get the job done. I try and help as many people out as I can I love to see guys catch fish that dont normally do that well. As for ScreamingEagle he is having a great year! you couldnt ask for a better fishing partner.
