Email nominations for FOTW, the weekly celebration of big fish stories from around Chicago fishing in the Sun-Times outdoors page on Wednesdays, to straycasts@sbcglobal.net.

Anyone have an idea about from where this muskie might have come? I've heard of a few caught near Lyons, afew miles below the old Hoffman Dam, but that was years ago. Is/was there an official stocking prgram by the DNR? This is not like muskies on the Fox-escapees from Chain of Lakes or Shabonna.
My guess is Busse, via Salt Creek.
That is one huge fish..
