Rich Anzalone nominated his son Mike (right) and his friend Gio Schmidt for northern pike they caught on the Des Plaines River near Lemont last week.
Pike are a rebounding species both on Chicago-area rivers and the lakefront.
Twin pikes are different than Twin Peaks, the television show. But I love them both.
FOTW, the celebration of big fish and good stories around Chicago fishing, appears Wednesdays on the Sun-Times outdoors page.
Send nominations to straycasts@sbcglobal.net or via Facebook (Dale Bowman) or Twitter (@BowmanOutside).
