Wisconsin man catches Illinois' largest walleye
CHICAGO (AP) – A fisherman named Fred Goselin held the record for the largest walleye ever caught in Illinois for more than a half century before 15-year-old Nick Tassoni caught a bigger one in January.
Now it looks like Nick will have to give it up the record before spring break.
On Sunday, a fisherman from Wisconsin ventured about 20 miles south of the state line on the Pecatonica River and caught a walleye that tipped the scales at 15.08 pounds.
