: : Haven't seen any postings about fishing in the Lake County Forest Preserves. Any suggestions for a novice 64-year old fisherman?
: : I landed my first lunker last night at a local Park District pond. The fish measured out at 18 inches even. Any estimation as to how much a LM that length might weigh? It was a real thrill. Caught it on a green and white Heddon Torpedo topbait. Tough to catch LM in this pond due to plentiful food supply according to others that fish there. But that makes the challenge so great. I'm obviously hooked.
: : I'd be glad to share the pond location. Contact me at boblevi@mindspring.com .
