In 2025, the average size of a Chinook salmon caught by Lake Michigan anglers in Michigan waters was 9.7 pounds, with fillets weighing 5.4 pounds. The retail price of Great Lakes salmon available from online retailers in Michigan was $22.40/lb. in 2025. This means that the average value of a recreationally caught Lake Michigan salmon was just over $120 last year and a limit of five salmon was worth around $600. That is a powerful incentive to go fishing!In southeast Michigan, walleye provide the most food value to anglers. Although smaller than salmon, they are the favorite table fare for many a fish fry. In Michigan waters of Lake Erie, the average walleye weighed 2.2 pounds in 2025, and an average daily limit of six walleye produced fillets worth $122.
