One of Illinois’ longest-standing fishing records was recently broken by a 15-year-old angler who caught a walleye weighing in at 14 pounds, 12 ounces.
Nick Tassoni of Rockford, Ill., started his fishing trip on the Pecatonica River with his father, Dave, at 5:30 a.m. Saturday. The two spent most of the cold January day trolling around the river for walleye.
