Zach Wolfe, a Mokena resident, and recent Lincoln-Way Central graduate, will go to Carson-Newman University in Tennessee this fall to compete for the school’s Eagle Anglers, a university-funded program with accomplishments at the state and national level.
Mokena resident Zach Wolfe just graduated from Lincoln-Way Central High School in New Lenox, but he's already eying a career as a professional angler after having success at state and national fishing tournaments.His dad, whose love of fishing predates Wolfe’s birth, tried to get him into the sport since he was tiny, but it took some generational intervention before he took the bait.
“The main thing is I want to be in the industry. If I don’t make it professional, I’d be fine working for something like a bait company.” “It’s been crazy this summer, but it’s also been a fun month for me,” he said. “And me and my dad just wrapped up our final tournament in Illinois and came in second as well.”
While Wolfe may have caught the fishing bug around the same time he learned to tie his shoes, he didn’t truly think it could be more than a great hobby until he was a sophomore after his first year of high school was filled with uncertainty due to the pandemic.“It wasn’t until sophomore year that things began to pick up,” he said. “That spring I won two tournaments within two weeks and I thought, ‘Well, maybe this is something I can do.
