Plainfield South senior Tim Raducka had quite the day Thursday at the conference bass-fishing tournament on Heidecke Lake.
“He caught three muskies while throwing a jig for bass,” Tim Prokop messaged. “The lake is awesome for multiple species right now.”
That’s Heidecke, the former cooling lake near Morris, at its prime.
FOTW, the celebration of big fish and their stories (the stories matter, as this one shows) around Chicago fishing, runs Wednesdays in the paper Sun-Times.
