It’s been a winter for largemouth bass through the ice, such as this plump one Chicagoan Kenny Williams caught on Wolf Lake.
He was jigging a golden roach near the Illinois/Indiana border. Carlton Lasker taught Williams ice fishing and Ray Hinton sent the photo.
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).
