Bradford Kelly landed this 14-pound, 33.5-inch king on Labor Day at 39th Street on the South Side of Chicago. It hit a K.O. Wobbler.

I would add that this is a good example of how to take a good basic fish photo.

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, well and the photo part.
