The Kosa retirees fished Lake Hickory last week with some good catches reported. Tom Mayhew and Larry Melton picked up the win with 12.85. Second place was a tie between the teams of Dean Champion/Fred Wright and John Black/Roger McNeilly, both brought in 10.75. Big fish of the day was a 4.35 weighed in by the team of Champion and Wright. This week, the retirees are on Lake Wylie. With all the rain we have had the lake is full and I expect them to have some real good catches.
