It was made with the generous support of @kohler the #kohler family and factory associates in #kohlerwisconsin Thank you and happy new year to everyone who helped us make this project a reality, with a special thanks to the great folks at the Shedd that helped us incorporate it into their vision for the future of the historic aquarium. #laketrout #walleye #northernpike #longnosegar #sturgeon #ciscoe
