Charlie Duggan caught a 16-inch crappie while fishing with his dad at Tampier Lake.
The young man from Evergreen Park was fishing on Oct. 20 with a minnow along rocks by 131st.
That’s an impressive crappie anywhere, but particularly from a Forest Preserve District of Cook County lake.
There are many ways to send nominations for FOTW, the weekly celebration of big fish around Chicago fishing on the Sun-Times outdoors page each Wednesday: Facebook (Dale Bowman), Twitter (@BowmanOutside) or email (straycasts@sbcglobal.net).
