Got out on this beautiful day in Chicago. After 3 hours I thought I was going to get skunked when this nice 21.5” 3lber took the lure. This might be my PB for coho! Tight lines!!

Hit the lakefront after work for about an hour and was able to catch this nice 21” coho. 16-20mph winds from the north so I was able to whip my lure out far as heck. Tight lines!
