What's New?
Not only did the couples in the Casting Couples opener start on a 30-degree morning, but the bite at Pine and Stone lakes was tough.
Despite a cold start in the morning, the catch was pretty good in the Tackle Shack season opener at Lake Maxinkuckee.
New Gear
St. Croix Rod expands the angler-favorite Mojo Musky lineup with three all-new longer models – a 10’ heavy power JOMFG100HF2, a 10’ extra-heavy power JOMFG100XHF2, and a 10’6” heavy power JOMFG106HF2. All are two-piece with a 70/30 split that places the junction low in the stiffer section of the rod.

Michigan Record Smallmouth
Bass fishermen often believe it is their definitive skills that fool big fish, but often times a little luck can go a long way.
The recently broken Michigan state smallmouth record is no exception. The 109-year-old record was broken Oct. 18 by Greg Gasiciel who was subbing in bass tournament on Hubbard lake in Alcona County. It was the first tournament he had fished in 3 to 4 years.
The monster smallmouth weighed 9.33 pounds, erasing the former mark of 9.25 set on Long Lake in Cheboygan County in 1906.
Hubbard is an 8,850-acre lake that is seven miles long and averages 32 feet deep. It was the site of a televised Major League Fishing Event last year.
Gasiciel, whose only previous fishing on Hubbard lake was ice fishing for walleyes, was called upon by a childhood buddy to fill in for a “Bass Anglers of the Sunrise Side” tournament that frigid day.
The record holder’s personal best prior to that day was a 5-5 largemouth caught from Wixom Lake.
