Houghton Lake was on fire! We caught an estimate of 150 fish. Water temps started at 57 and ended up near 61. Fished mostly northern side of the lake. Kept 8 legal walleyes, a couple northerns, and about 40 crappies (10-14"). Release roughly 60 bass (biggest largemouth at 5lbs and biggest smallmouth at 4lbs). Also released another 30 crappies. It was wild as there was rarely a moment when someone in the boat wasn't fighting a fish. Most of the fish caught on plastics (sliders, flukes). Rippin Raps were hot bait for bass and crappies.
