New Walleye Record Set In Illinois

A Wisconsin man sets a new walleye record in Illinois.  James Zimmerman caught a 15-point-oh-eight pound walleye on the Pecatonica River in Winnebago County.  The fish was measured at 31 and a half inches with a girth of 20 and three-eighths inches.  Zimmerman caught the fish on a one-eighth ounce Northland Fire-Ball jig.  This is the second time the state record has been established this year.  Fifteen-year-old Nick Tassoni, of Rockford, broke a 51-year-old record on January 7th when he caught a 14 pound, 12 ounce walleye on the Pecatonica River.
