Chris Skrabel caught a blue catfish that lives as much as his e mail, “Hey boss, caught this whale at Braidwood Lake.”
Move over LaSalle Lake.
Skrabel caught his 38-inch, 55-pound blue on a bluegill in 30 toes of water underneath overcast skies round 10 Friday morning. The “whale” was launched.
FOTW, the celebration of massive fish and their tales round Chicago fishing, runs Wednesdays on the Sun-Times’ open air web page. Submit nominations on Facebook (Dale Bowman), on Twitter and Instagram (@BowmanOutdoors) or e mail (BowmanOutdoors@gmail.com).
