Fish of the Week: Largemouth on Stormy Sunday

Gary Le shows good largemouth can be hooked and released in the late fall in “the worst conditions for bass fishing.”

On Sunday, Le was using a Spro Killer Gill swim bait, cast far out on a DuPage County pond, then reeled in very slowly on braided line.

“That was the only fish we saw that morning, but that sure was worth it!” he emailed.

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).
