Charter fishing Capt. Kent Paulsen has been predicting a new state record coho salmon would come out of the Minnesota waters of Lake Superior sometime soon, he just wasn’t sure who the lucky angler would be

It turned out to be a customer on Paulsen's boat, True North II, on Labor Day morning about three miles outside the Duluth Entry.

David Cichosz, 54, of Wabasha, Minnesota, caught a coho salmon weighing 10.92 pounds (29 inches long) breaking the old record set in 1970 of 10.38 pounds, or 10 pounds, 6 ounces.
