That was such an awesome fight at the end. Good job on her for sticking through the arm pain LOL. You coached her through it very well!. Keep jiggin' for the biggin's
So cool, she was not flustered !! Love seeing her catching her own. Use to surf fish out in front of Little River up in Marinette with my gal. She would always put fish my buddies and all the locals. Rock on!!
I loved how you kept your cool and talked to your girlfriend I love that you didn't get mad you didn't get excited you talked really nice to her that's beautiful any coached her well
Thanks! We make a great team, that’s why i made her my wife 😁
You Guys are impressive. I never stopped smiling the whole video. That was awesome and Christa, that was a great job on your King. Again my jaws are sore from smiling...😁
Thanks! Glad you liked it😁
Dude, possible game changer for the ppl that wanna go salmon fishing but don't want to invest the money in downriggers, dipseys, new tackle, etc...phenomenal video!
That’s right!! Don’t event need a boat, plenty of fisherman catch them off the piers. Thanks for watching!!
That looks like a fricken blast! We used to go for steelhead run in Sheboygan in fall. Absolute blast catching them on light tackle!!
Hot bite! Thanks, very encouraging. If you setup two vertical tube rod holders, on opposite sides, the rod you aren’t using won’t ever be underfoot. Congrats on a couple great battles!
Thanks!!
Ive been thinking about jigging for kings this was an awesome video! Did you do this in spring or fall and how deep were you guys ? Hopefully ill be able to match your guys success! Tight lines!
@@Bendepas you can start jigging for kings starting right now and into the fall. Typically i fish in and around the ports so 15-40’ of water but it all depends on water clarity/ temp and if you can find bait
that boat looking small to the mighty great lakes hats off to you both great work and video
Any suggestions on jig head size and the bait you used? I would love to try this some day! Keep up the great videos!
1oz is typically what i use but you can go lighter if the fish are up higher/ no wind/ no current. Thanks for watching!!
I like your t-shirt. Good optics.
Wouldn’t buy anything else!
Awesome video as always. You just cannot beat catching big kings while jigging
Thanks! I honestly don’t think anything beats it
You go girl that is a great job! What a great day of fishing!
This is an awesome video man!! I was entertained the whole entire time!! Jigging for chromes!! You’re a beast!! Keep it up!!
Thanks!! Jigging up silver kings is a riot! Glad you liked it👍🏻👍🏻
@@CNCoutdoors man if you ever need someone to film for you I have my own CZcams channel! I can help you out! Also a die hard fisherman!
Some friends and I are planning a trip to Lake Huron, near Cheboygan, 10 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge, this July and want to try jigging for lake trout or salmon. Everyone is saying that in July, those fish are down in deep cold water, maybe 100-200 feet. I saw that you were fishing in August and down 30 feet.
Do you have any tips for how you found those fish initially? Just drive around slowly near drop-offs and try to locate the groups of fish with your fish finder, then start jigging? Were you looking for the bait fish or larger fish?
Not sure about soft plastic bait, vertical minnows, spoons, i saw that you said you were using 1oz weights with your soft plastics?
Thanks
On the west shore of Lake Michigan in June through august if you get a lot of consistent strong west winds it will push the warm water out and bring cold water in. This brings the fish in shallow and makes it easier to jig them. It doesn’t happen every year and when it does you have to have it perfectly timed. Once you find the right water temp i was just trying to locate bait and casting around it. Casting spoons and darter head jigs with plastic work well. If you can find water temps around 50-52 you should be in the chips.
Absolutely epic. Congrats. You just can't get over that screaming drag.
🤘🏻🤘🏻 it’s addicting i swear
I bet these taste so good out the water fresh. I'm going up to Canada in a month or so what's the best bait to catch this and trout?
Oh yeah salmon is absolutely incredible table fair out of Lake Michigan. Ik up in Canada they use a lot of spoons and spinners for trout. Plastic tube jigs would be a good idea also
nice
Fun video! Saw you working a slick in the background - makes sense to work something that could be concentrating the fish. Great job!
Yup! Always have to be on the lookout for slicks and mud lines👍🏻 thanks!!
Awesome video, I have never jigged them like that. I had a big boat on Michigan for 7 yrs. Caught lots on light rods, but all trolling. I may have to go try that! Awesome video! WTG!
Thanks! Definitely worth a try!!
Now that looked like alot of fun! Much better on a spinning rod rather than a heavy rig! 😊👍
Way more fun than 300 copper!! 😂 😆
So much fun. Good eats and great time with your better half.
Yea it was! Can’t wait to do it again this summer 🎣
Funnest fishing video ever. Loved it!
Thanks!!🎣
Nice!!! you got me all jacked up to go jigging for Kings. I've done this before and know it is feast or famine. Congratulations on finding and catching some really nice fish. NFN
It’s an absolute blast! I watched your KD video, congratulations on the port prize! Got me itching to try that out next year. Love your videos!
Awesome video. Definitely would be great to start talking tactics for people that are starting out. Was this Michigan side or Wisconsin side? Don't need to know port or anything.
Thanks! This was on the Wisconsin side
Magnificent fish, Magnificent fishing thanks. Keep your rod tip high girl. You're holding it horizontal, if you have the rod high pressure stays on. Lift and wind, lift and wind
Thanks! She was so tired she could hardly hold on to the rod 😂 😂
Great video brother!!! They’re fun for sure. I hoping Milwaukee will start soon for jigging!! What was your bait of choice? Where did you launch? How far north?
Thanks! We were using 5” Kalins jerk minnows
What kind of head? 1 oz swim head?
@@richardreilly6051 i believe they were Kalins heads also but not 100% sure.. bought them like 5yrs ago. They are the 1oz darter head style jigs. 1/2oz work too depending on wind and water depth
@@CNCoutdoors thanks brother!
Saw you at the launch! Pulled out next to you. Awesome vid!
Thanks!!
Great video my friend watching from Columbus Ohio
Thanks!!
Hi and good evening. That was a great video. I wanna get started in the jigging for Salmon. I would like to know the name of the soft plastics you were using and what size jig. Thank in advance.
Thanks! Kalin’s jerk minnow with 1oz darter head jig
Awesome video you guys are killing it
Thanks! 🎣
Now that gives meaning to the word Sport in Sport Fishing. 😍😍❤
What Port are u out of?
Was this in fall before they run up river or in summer time just out in the lake?
This was late July, so just before they started to run up river
I'm thinking to try this on Lake Ontario, but don't have much info available to get started. can you share some pointers.
like what lures, depth, water temp to look for etc.
Usually on the west side of Lake Michigan we just keep updated on the weather. We look for a couple days/ week of consistent west winds. June through august, west winds will push the warm water out and bring the cold water in which brings the salmon in close to shore. Typically I’ve always done good with water temps around 52 degrees. For baits i like to use 1oz darter head jigs with a 5” jerk minnow or fluke style bait. Jigging spoons like Cleo’s, shiver spoons, and binks can also be good. If you can find the bait with the right water temp there will usually be fish around, just have to use your electrics and do a lot of casting to figure it out. Hope this helps!!
Just watched the vid, never thought to try and jig them. I was out in pretty much the same spot you guys were with a couple buddies 3 days later and we were 14/20 trolling with 2 over 25lbs.
I would love to hook into them on lighter tackle, looks like so much fun.
That’s a solid day, nice work! Nothing in freshwater beats a king salmon on light tackle! Absolute blast
I definitely gonna do that!! Jigging style!! ❤😎💥💥
Your best video yet ! ! Miguel s the man !!
Thanks! Miguel is one of the best sticks i know👌🏼
Absolutely loved the video! Keep up the great work
Thanks we will!!
Awesome fish looks like alot of fun. Krista you did a great job happy for you. I have to try jiggin them
Thanks! She did fantastic fighting that fish
Yes she did. My arms would be burning🔥 too. Did you that 40.40lb king caught this weekend by Algoma
@@mattwaltenberg6722 it’s a workout that’s for sure. I did see that absolute monster!!
Looks like you all had lots fun ,😎sweet.also congrats on a hell of a evening fishing.
Thanks! It was a ton of fun 😁
New to your channel. Great video. Are you fishing Michigan or Wisconsin waters?
Thanks! We were fishing Wisconsin waters
Wow!! A king on lite tackle!! It doesn’t get much better than that!!!
No it does not!! Definitely the best fight you can find in freshwater
This is huge game changer!! That drag screaming action is pure adrenaline! ❤
It’s awesome! The hardest fighting fish in freshwater hands down
I've tried this jigging on other species.....Northern Pike....Flathead Catfish....and it definitely Works!! It's a great approach to catching really big fish ❤
Most exciting video I’ve seen in a long time!! Great job!!!
Thanks!!
Wow what a great day congrats Krista on the big one of the day 👍👍
Thanks!!
What kind of jig lure are you using? Thanks
1oz darter head jigs with 5” jerk Shad’s
King salmon as in Chinooks?? Also what lures were you using? Looks like white buzz bombs
Yup chinook salmon. We were using kalins darter head jigs with 5” kalins jerk minnows
Awesome! Thanks bud👍
@@tallballz15 your welcome!
Do you let it get to bottom then start jiggin or are they up high? I’ve never fished them this way in the big lake
I usually cast it out and count how long it takes to get to bottom. That way on the next casts you have a rough estimate on where your bait is in the water column. Typically i like to keep my bait half way or higher in the water column
Is that just a white kalins jerk minow .
Any colors in it ?
I have tryed jigging spoons no luck have not cought a fish sence i bought my rod and reel .
Using 20lb braided medium heavy rod.
The entire video was awesome i felt the excitement.happy fishing.
Thanks! It’s an absolute blast hooking up with those kings on light tackle. Yup, just a white 5” kalins jerk minnow with a 1oz fatter head jig. I was using my 7’ st. Croix medium fast action with 10lb braid and 15lb seaguar leader. 20lb braid should work too but make sure you have at least 6-7’ of floro leader. Jigging spoons will work too. I’ve had good luck on little Cleo’s
Good thing you went back to get the cooler! 😉 our little secret! Gotta tell you I thought you were going to get skunked! Man that looks like so much fun! Great job!
I figured I’d see your comment on here 😆 get out there and try it!! Hope you got into some as well!
Love your videos. Keep it up. How deep you fishing when jiggin
Thanks! 30-40’
Good luck finishing
Looks like a bunch of fun. I usually peer fish there and get em in August. Awesome job!
Thanks! I’d love to try that off the pier some day. So much fun fighting these fish on light tackle
I appreciate the skill it takes to jig one up, over DR and a ball. Kudos!!
Thanks!
What Spinning rods were you using? Length, action, power? Thank you for sharing!!
7’ medium fast action St Croix Avid. Thanks for watching!!
@@CNCoutdoors Thank you
Awesome! How did you target them? Livescope?
A good friend and a little experience. Down imaging helped a little too. Livescope in my boat would be a touch unfair 😂. But seriously, i fished a mud line until i found the fish and then did my best to stay on them.
dont sit thru many king vids but this style of fishing for them seems fun not like a human winch when you troll,, great job looks like alot of fun... how deep were they
Thanks, it’s an absolute blast! We had our best luck in 35-40’
Unreal video....what size jigs and style of plastics do you do that with. Looked super fun.
Thanks, it’s a blast! 1/2 or 1oz darter head jigs and 5” kalins jerk minnows
What size hook do I want to pair those size jigs for the 5in jerk minnow. They sell them with 4/0 or 5/O....definitely going to try this. Any brand jig head work better then other in your experience?
@@CNCoutdoors I also watch some videos on them using jigging spoons. I will pick out a couple of those to try also. Do you use a 2500 size reels or bump up to 3500?
@@clarkvanstraten6003 i just used my walleye gear so my reel was a pfluger president 30. Od say that’s about the smallest you’d want to go. As far as the heads I’d say you’d be just fine with a 4/O. I use the Kalins darter head jigs but any darterhead style will work
@@CNCoutdoors Thanks I'm definitely investing in some new gear for this. This fall is probably out I'm healing up from Achilles tendon surgery. But I'm watching tons of you tube to learn some tips for doing this. Cant wait. Thanks for replying back. Good luck fishing. Your videos are great
Awesome dude!!! So jelly, never got 1 on a jig rod!
It’s quite the adrenaline rush!
Heck of a day. Mind sharing depth? We are in NW Indiana and I'd kill to find a jig bite for Kings around here. We get a window for lake trout during late ice where we can whack and stack on a jig bite. Haven't found that window for kings.
Sure was! We found the fish in 30-40’ on this day. Cooler water up north makes it a little easier to pattern the kings. Jigging Lakers through the ice sounds fun as heck though!!
@@CNCoutdoors Open water in the boat. Just difficult to put away the short sticks in those last couple of weekends where we still have good ice to get bundled up to go open water on the big lake.
What State was this in?
WI
Amazing, I need to give that a shot. Trolling is fun, but this looks sick.
Like you said, trolling is fun but this is on a whole new level. Can be extremely hit or miss though
What is the bait and jighead use?
I like a 1oz darter head jig with a 5” jerk minnow
Doing the Salmon Square Dance, all around that boat! That looks like so much fun!
It’s a blast!! 💃
What kind of bait is it that you were using?
5” Kalins jerk minnow
Great job girl!!! 🎣🎣
what are those jigs , head ect ,, nice video , i troll but would like to try this, looks fun
Thanks! We were using kalins darter head jigs and 5” jerk minnows. Typically 1/2- 1oz heads
Ok that was fun to watch. Congratulations especially on that last one
Thank you! Was an awesome day
I swear I've seen a lot of stuff in my life.....But that was Awesome!
It’s an absolute riot! Crazy power in those fish
Thanks for sharing your videos. Nice catch!
No problem, thanks for watching!
Great job Crista, she's your good luck charm!!! "Get out the GRILL"!!! 🐟🐟🐟🏁🍺👀
🍽 🍻 🍻
"Fight through it" I love it!!
This video made me smile. Awesome job guys!
Thank you!!
Catching Kings like that is a blast. You can go lighter tackle...light enough that the boat has to move on hook up. You need to try it.....
Catching kings on crappie rods 😂 now that would be crazy! Maybe I’ll try that next year
That's like backing up to make it a longer range shot on elk🤔😁
Love the video. Fish on!!
Thanks! 🎣
Michigan or Wisconsin?
Wisconsin
Beat video ever !!! Great job super star
Thanks! Super star kicked ass in this one 😁
What kind of boat are you running ?
2018 Alumacraft competitor 185
@@CNCoutdoors nice! Seen most of your videos and that boat handles lady bago, gb, and lake Michigan well.
@@teamskunkonly2763 it really is an awesome boat. Fishes big water well and i can still get into small water also. Best of both worlds
Where is this out of? My mother is looking to go for the first time ever and would like to put her on a fish or two
Excellent video. I seen you were in 40 fow. How deep were the fish, and if it isn't giving too much away what was the water temperature?
Yup about 30-40’ seemed like the fish were around 10-15’ down. Water temp was anywhere from 61- 48 degrees but the fish were definitely stacked in the 52-53 degree water
My heart was pounding during the last fish
Ours too! That was a battle!
I think we all literally want to try this out now! 275 people! Absolutely awesome 👌 ❤
Nice catch🐟🎣 and it looks like you dog 🐕wants to help you too
Thanks! She’s a fishin dog 🐕
Great job girl! That was fun to watch.
Thanks!!
Nice work! I just started jigging lakers a couple weeks ago and am actually headed out in a little bit for salmon or lakers. If you don’t mind me asking, which port you were out of?
Thanks, hope you got into some!! We were out of the Wisconsin side
I mean the power plant in the back is a dead give away.
@@gramsey01 it’s pretty obvious if you know where it is. But if you know where it is.. it’s smart to just go there and fish lol
@@CNCoutdoors headed to Green Bay Thursday for some weekend walley and perch action. Hoping to get the boat out of Algoma Friday and see if we can’t jig up a few kings. Hopefully the bite is just as good
@@gramsey01 walleye bite has been kinda spotty from what I’ve seen the last couple days on the bay. Looks like we have some warmer more stable weather coming though so that’ll help. Should be able to find some salmon in shallow Friday for sure. Good luck!
How deep was it where you were catching those?
30-40’
Awesome job. What was that plastic ?
Thanks! It was a 5” Kalins jerk minnow
@@CNCoutdoors what jig head do you prefer?
That’s awesome. Never tried jiggin’ em. Nice work.
Thanks! It’s unlike anything else in freshwater

Thanks!
Fishn this area a lot. Love the small feisty cohos we get all the time in there.
Awesome video guys

Thanks!!
where did you launch from
Wisconsin side
How many are you allowed to keep out there
5
Fish catching machine! I get not wanting to disclose locations but some of your , tactics, logic, strategy would be cool if you could start talking about.
I’m definitely going to start talking strategies, tackle, tactics, etc.. in the next couple of videos i promise! 😂 thanks for watching!!
What port?
Holy crap dude what a phenomenal evening! Jigging for those is certainly on my to-do list some day!
It sure was! Highly recommended!!
What length and action is your rod? What line?
7’ medium fast action. Main line is 10lb fire line with a 15lb seaguar leader

@@kevenpietrasik6738 can’t remember the brand of jig but it’s a darter head jig style. Bait is a 5” Kalins jerk minnow
