Seems like the right week for Natalie Hoffmann, 7, with a big largemouth bass caught Sept. 8.

“She caught it about 2 feet from shore on a kid’s Zebco, bobber, hook and a piece of a crawler on a small pond in Barrington Hills,” memory-making grandfather Ron Riebock emailed.

FOTW, the celebration of big fish and their stories around Chicago outdoors, runs Wednesdays on the Sun-Times’ outdoors page. Submit nominations on Facebook (Dale Bowman), on Twitter (@BowmanOutside) or email (straycasts@sbcglobal.net).
