IHSA bass fishing: Top 10 in Chicago area

About to leave for Carlyle Lake and remembered I had not posted the top-10 rankings for Chicago area schools before the 2016 state championship for bass fishing.

As a former prep writer, I love the whole idea of doing a top-10 for high school bass fishing.
