Jumbo Perch Muskegon Lake (Multiple PB Yellow Bellies) Michigan ICE Fishing

Started the morning in a new spot on the lake looking for walleye and stumbled into a mess of perch that had some true jumbos in it, including a couple of the biggest I've ever caught.

Good video, nice size perch....been fishing this lake most of my life through the ice specifically for eyes. I would definitely study the deeper sections of the lake and figure out the drop offs and ledges near it, and use a variety of rapala jigs in the w5 size, snap raps,flat raps in the size near the w5 on the regular jigging rap, and the ripping raps..natural colors work great along with chartreuse and blues with reds. The bite isn't fast and furious like the bay but when they turn on out their it can be very similar just study your graph and how the bigger marks react to your jigging styles.

Thanks, that’s also where I walleye fish. Got a few videos on the channel catching eyes. Been fishing there for a long time.

Was on LLoyd's Bayou yesterday. Bite was SLOW. Caught a handful that were just big enough to eat. Hoping to hit Muskegon lake yet this year.

[@gillgetter3004]

Caught a nice bunch of gills today, Washtenaw county.

Great video! Those were some hog perch! I’m looking to go out this Saturday for my first time this year on Muskegon lake. I’ll be going out of Cottage Grove on the south side but I heard another ship is coming through and will break up the ice. I hope it doesn’t screw up my plans!

[@michigancaughtwild]

Thanks good luck out there

Yes: arrow shaft for flag-I have 6 of then on set line/tip up rigs-use of the mind vs the power of authentication. Be blessed friend.

This popped up in my feed, guessing from last January/February? It's about that time of the year now. It is the toughest bite of the year but I still try. Life is too short to wait forever. Nice video, cheers!

[@michigancaughtwild]

Thank you, yes this was a year ago

[@johnnyhacks507]

Fished there today. Very slow. Looks like you had a good day, the day you recorded. 👍😁👍

[@michigancaughtwild]

Wednesday

[@cavalierguy6754]

Snug Harbor or 2nd st? Fished and Speared in that lake for 68 years! Caught fantastic 3-6lb Walleyes! Pike up to 15lbs and lots of Bluegill and Specks! Good lake!

[@michigancaughtwild]

Neither spot, it is a Great Lake, usually do well for walleye

[@jeremygourde9880]

I was stationed out there 2012-2016 and had a heck of a time catching fish on muskegon.

[@jerometorrez8789]

I’m from unionville area and on the inner bay giant walleye are teaming up in the shallows come join me while we tear them up. And awsome stuff broski

[@michigancaughtwild]

sounds like a blast

[@andrewgrudzinskas5778]

I keep catching dinks might have to try muskegon lake

[@fishnlift01]

Nice work! Do you ever fish bead spoons on Muskegon?

[@michigancaughtwild]

Thanks, no I never have

[@jackcottrell3891]

I'm a Muskegon Lake Lifer..

[@michigancaughtwild]

Me too buddy, tight lines

[@nathanielstevens8557]

If you can get walleye to bite on muskegon lake through the ice then you can get them to bite anywhere. Nothing better than catching some hog muskegon lake perch and walleye.

[@stewystewart67]

The perch look like there full of grubs :( Did the meet have them in it ? I dont them myself if they are filled with them even though the DNR say its fine it grosses me out...... Thanks for the vid Happy fishing

[@miketrevino7355]

Hope all is good haven't seen any video lately

[@lifteddreams9714]

Just because they swim away doesn’t mean they are okay.. always gotta look into the mouth and see if the veins and throat are puffed up. You will know what I’m talking about once you see it... just because the air sac doesn’t blow out doesn’t mean they will survive normally will die after a little while

[@michigancaughtwild]

Thanks, I’ve definitely seen it

[@ryan5307]

Ive alwyas looked for the air sac but I didn't know about the veins where do you look to see them and whats the tell with them to know they aren't going to make it?

[@johnolivier1]

Dude you should reel them up slow in deep water. I can tell by the way their gills are out stretched that they are suffering. They get the bends. Otherwise good video.

[@michigancaughtwild]

Thank you👊 I’ll get the hang of it someday

[@jerometorrez8789]

You all need to stop crying for gots sake It’s a frickn fish if it dies a giant pike walleye catfish flathead will swallow it. Like she said. Thiers more people it’s a fishhhhhh!!!!!!!!

[@tonynelson6238]

[@michigancaughtwild]
