SHARE Illinois fishing: Whitefish & burbot

Click here for the improbable feat of catching firsts in two Illinois fishing records–burbot and lake whitefish–by Capt. Tim Wojnicz.

He caught both records while perch fishing with clients out of Waukegan this spring.

Far bigger burbot and whitefish have been caught in Illinois waters, so I expect both records to be surpassed quickly.

Blackhawks could use another December surge from Ryan Donato
For some reason, Donato has dominated the month of December throughout his career, although he was completely unaware of the pattern. Given the Hawks’ scoring woes, they wouldn’t complain if it repeated itself.
