Another one over this past weekend that was publicized in the paper(Chicago Suntimes): 47" @ 29lbs. out of Shabbona lake. And it's making the "Musky" fishermen angry because it's mainly "Bass" guys taking these fish on little cranks while these guys are throwing musky stuff and coming up empty!!!! :rotflol:
