Bob Eagan caught a 28-pound freshwater drum Thursday while salmon fishing at Cal Park. Tony Kujawa nominated him for Fish of the Week.

That’s a big drum for Lake Michigan, just short of the Indiana record of 30 pounds caught by Garland Fellers in 1963 from the White River in Martin County. But it’s well under the Illinois record of 38 pounds, 4 ounces, caught by Johnathan Inman from Clinton Lake, May 24, 2018.
