What an odd year for pink salmon.

They earn Fish of the Year, which usually goes to an individual angler and fish.

Two Illinois records were caught. Others were in record range but weren’t identified until later. Laurance Reed caught a male with the distinctive hump in his back on the lakefront, a rare Chicago sight.

Alex Niemiec got pinks noticed on July 10 when he caught the Illinois record while fishing with his older brother Kevin and their dad Robert with Capt. Gerry Urbanozo out of North Point Marina. It weighed 3.9 pounds at Lake Michigan Angler in Winthrop Harbor.
