Fingerling Chinook Salmon Being Released into Lake Michigan

These are fingerling Chinook salmon being released out of net pens in the Milwaukee marina. I have been doing this for 6 years now and it is always a rush. This is how small these fish start out and just a week ago one of our clients boated an 18 pound Chinook. This fish was only in Lake Michigan for 3 years! These fish being released are about 3 inches long but soon will be Kings of the Lake.
