Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, Minnesota, National Fishing, News /

On Labor Day, a 53-year-old Minnesota angling record fell on Lake Superior. David Cichosz, of Wabasha, Minn., caught a 10-pound, 14 ounce coho salmon on Lake Superior while aboard a Fish North MN charter captained by Kent Paulsen while fishing out of Duluth harbor. Cichosz’s fish eclipsed a 10-pound, 6-ounce coho caught on Lake Superior in November 1970.
Cichosz and his wife, Chris Sky, were advised by Paulsen on their morning drive out that a lot of cohos that were close to the state record had been caught recently.
