"Pennsylvania angler cashes in with $25,000 salmon” from The Buffalo News

As author Bill Hilts states in the article, “Dealing with large, mature Lake Ontario Chinook salmon is never an easy proposition when it comes to the fall – when these fish have reached a peak weight in a short life cycle. Just ask Daniel Clinger of Jersey Shore, Pa.  who was fishing out of Sodus Point in Wayne County as part of the Fall Lake Ontario Counties (LOC) Trout and Salmon Derby held Aug. 18 through Sept. 4. Clinger weighed in a 39-pound, 3-ounce king salmon to take the top prize – a check for $25,000. He also took big fish on the day it was caught for an extra $500.” Click here to learn more!
