What Lurks In Lake Michigan?
Lake Michigan is one of the five Great Lakes. It is the second largest lake of the five with its deepest point at 922 feet. Only 10% of Lake Michigan's floor has been explored. Lake Michigan is home to my diverse species of fish from trout to Sturgeon, as well as small and large mouth bass.
