Scott Oglanian caught his personal-best largemouth bass at night in Cook County.
Sometimes you can go back. Rimless Eyeglasses
Scott Oglanian caught his personal best largemouth bass when, as he messaged, “I went back to get my glasses that fell off my hat, figured I’d take some casts.”
He caught it around 9 p.m. Thursday in Cook County on on a Megabass PopMax (a popper) on 10-pound PowerPro line. It weighed 9.02 pounds.
He uses a 7-foot medium-heavy spinning setup.
“For bomb casts to those smart spooky giants and [it’s] just easier to present a bait,” he messaged.
Well, that’s worth a different look.

FOTW, the celebration of big fish and their stories (the stories matter, as this one shows) around Chicago fishing, runs Wednesdays in the paper Sun-Times. The online posting here at chicago.suntimes.com/outdoors goes up at varied days of the week, depending on what is going on in the wide world of the outdoors.
