Marcia McGann teamed up catching a big lake trout on a mid-March Sunday.

The Oak Lawn woman was fishing near “The Gong’’ on southern Lake Michigan with her fiancé Joseph Hatzell and her 12-year-old daughter Mary Meegan.

“Anything boys can do, girls can do better,’’ McGann cracked on Facebook.

She shoots, she scores.

FOTW, the celebration of big fish and good stories, runs Wednesdays on the Sun-Times outdoors page. The story part or fishing of the moment, such as this one, matters as much as the big fish part, generally.
