Yea those are some cool fish. I saw guy get a 36" one too. The one I saw was pretty beat up and ugly though. |

The fish in question has bars... but, they are made up of spots. Very common in the Upper Mississippi River/Leech Lake strain fish that are stocked and come up in Illinois.
Notice the markings on the first fish are made up of solid bars... |
