Chasing 100: A moment of note in Fish of the Week

By Dale Bowman

Eugene Tenebrini, 97, was nominated by his son John, for a 17-inch largemouth bass caught Aug. 16. on Crystal Lake.

That is the oldest person with a FOTW. Try for 100?

FOTW, the celebration of big fish and good stories, runs Wednesdays on the Sun-Times outdoors page. The story part matters as much as the big fish part.

Send nominations by Facebook (Dale Bowman), Twitter (@BowmanOutside) or email (straycasts@sbcglobal.net).
