Good to have high school bass fishing sectionals back Thursday in Illinois.
Good to see Brother Rice sent out as the first boat at the Des Plaines River sectional.
Good to see the subs at the Braidwood Lake sectional lining the south riprap and casting in the rain.
Good to have Ryan Sutton spice up Glenbrook South’s winning bag at the Skokie Lagoons sectional with a small tiger muskie, his first muskie.
“So weird to catch that out of here,” Sutton said. “I fished this place for years and never even even caught a pike out of here.”
“Fishing in general is way up and a lot of people are doing it for the first time. I’ve seen more new ice fishermen this year than I could ever remember. There is definitely a lot of new people.”
