Patricia Seldomridge made her first walleye truly memorable, catching a 29-incher Nov. 9 on the Fox Chain O’Lakes.
“We had a 27-inch, 25-inch and missed a few that came off at the boat,” Brad Janis messaged. “Best day of big walleye on the Chain.”
They were fishing with T-Bone Guide Service.
Then on Saturday, Seldomridge came through again with “a giant” flathead catfish.
“Ripping blade baits on Lake Marie,” Janis messaged. “Didn’t measure or weigh it.”
FOTW, the celebration of big fish and their stories (the stories matter) around Chicago fishing, runs Wednesdays in the paper Sun-Times.
