    I didn't measure it but it was at least two feet. Using the length to weight conversion chart for channel catfish 24" this one weighed just under 6 lbs. ...more Caught it just before sunset in the white lake channel.

      I used to fish in Ohio until I was in my forties. I quit fishing altogether for about 12 years until this year. I retired due to health issues and moved here to ...more Michigan three years ago and this is my first Michigan fishing license. So far I have caught my biggest largemouth ever, and largest catfish ever. I don't think my Ohio best walleye (16 lbs caught during spring run in Maumee River) will ever be topped anywhere and I'm still waiting on those salmon.

    Saw a guy pull in a huge salmon off the Whitehall pier this morning around ten o'clock on the webcam they have there. I went down and casted for a while but ...more they don't seem to be in yet in any numbers. I think that guy just got lucky, like you can get on almost any day there.

    Here it is September 5th and still no sign of any salmon at the mouth of the White River or Muskegon River. People like me still catching bass and drum and even ...more rarely a walleye or two, but no fleet of fishing boats at the channel mouth and no sign of salmonoids. No whoops or hollars from fishermen out on the pier getting strikes from them. The weather is bad enough for them and the water is getting down around 65 degrees..... Hmmmm.

    My wife actually caught two walleye. Sheu also hooked into a 16 inch small mouth, totally out fishing me the whole evening. Using the length to weight for walleye ...more formula, this is actually a pound and a half fish, and not the two pounds entered at first.

    Most of the gills in the channel are at least as big as this one. They can be caught with worms under a bobber near the bottom or by cast and retrieve.

      Some days there are outstanding, some are pretty good, and it calms down once in a while. Salmon are due there in a week or two.

    Details: White Lake channel north and south pier

    Great place for large and small mouth bass, salmon, trout, pike, rock bass, freshwater drum. Out at the pier ends there are rockpiles on the bottom where both species ...more of bass can found on most summer days.
