took a week to visit some family in Chicago do some fishing (had to) and then travel around the lake to Holland MI where my wife is from to a cabin and do some more fishing.... My father in-law lives on the top floor of his building he over looks the harbor from the 51st floor this was our view every morning.  awesome! we also did some fishing! by brother in-law with a GIANT Coho....this is seriously HUGE.  Me with a nice Lake Trout.  another Coho  the "Box"...about 2/3 way though the trip  As we were heading out we saw a fire on the Chicago sky line...  I nailed a nice king right off we were about 14 miles out at this point...we only had one person puking it wasn't me.  My wife and father in law with a double hook up!  he ended up with a nice king..

A few more.. me looking dumb  Ben with a big coho  so we rented a car and drove around the lake to the cottage in Holland MI..caught a awesome sun set..  just before the sun says good night...  the west coast of Michigan is amazing, my wife by the light house big red about a mile from the cottage..  The wind changed directions so many times...the plants gave evidence of that.  "Big Red" the light house in Holland MI  my buddy who was more then willing to eat the minnows when the fish wouldn't  I will have to upload more photos I did try fishing from the beach....

If you put a "Choose Life" shirt on your Brother-in-Law he would look just like George Michael.
