Mike Kolec caught a nice salmon last week and had a hook for FOTW honors.
The young man from Edison Park on Chicago’s Northwest Side emailed, “Here’s a pic of an 18 lb Salmon I caught on the Kewaunee River in WI last week with a salmon roe. Put me in coach!!!”
“Put me in coach” got him FOTW. It made me smile and I need smiles.
