Big, really big, lake trout on Chicago lakefront: From shore

Donald Giuliano caught this 19.85-pound lake trout, weighed on the certified scale at Henry’s Sports and Bait, last week while fishing a minnow at Montrose.

It’s not just boaters who are enjoying the saving graces of lakers, but shore fishermen, too.

FOTW, the celebration of big fish and good stories, runs Wednesdays on the Sun-Times outdoors page. The story part matters as much as the big fish part.
