There is a DNR guy who lives in an apartment next to my office and I had a chance to talk to him yesterday. I asked him if he had been one of the guys doing the netting on the Chain and Fox River a couple of weeks ago. He replied he had been one of the groups on the river. When I asked what was the biggest they netted he replied that there was a 56" they netted on the river. Obviously I thought he meant 46" and when I said, "You mean 46" right?" he again said no it was a 56". He also mentioned there was another one on the river netted that was just over 50". Anyone else hear anything similiar? I know where I am going to be focusing my Ski time now..lol forget the North Lakes....

When you say river do you mean below the McHenry dam? Guys in my chapter got many fish out of the river VERY far south of McHenry this winter including a nice fat 47".

I would have to catch up with him again and find out, he did say north. I can find out some more in a couple days.
