We recently heard from Alex Kaiser, proud father of 5-year old Myles:
“I’ve been bringing Myles fishing with me since he was 2 years old. He has learned to cast by himself, and he knows just where to cast!
“On May 5th (his birthday), he caught and released this 20-inch landlocked salmon out of the Aroostook River where it runs through Ashland and Garland. He was using a handmade copper spinner with red beads.
“When the big fish struck the lure, Myles exclaimed, ‘It’s a big one, Dad!’ My heart was pounding — I was more excited than my son! It’s the largest salmon I’ve seen come out of the river.
“A quick photo, and a perfect release, as the fish was still strong and swam away.
