Oh, brother, really big walleye, Heidecke Lake: Fishes of the Week

By Dale Bowman

Kurt and Cliff Kowalczyk were two of many who caught big walleye from Heidecke Lake in the last week. The brothers caught walleye of 29 1/2 inches (9 pounds) and 25 1/2 inches (5 1/2 pounds) on Sunday. Cliff (Cliff’s Taxidermy in Plainfield) will mount them.

FOTW, the celebration of big fish and good stories, runs Wednesdays on the Sun-Times’ outdoors page.
