Minooka’s All-American Hunter Petrovic and Hayden Host won the Illinois Bass Nation High School State Championship Sunday on the Des Plaines River with 25.22 pounds, anchored by Petrovic’s 4.23-pound largemouth bass, big fish of the tournament.
“[They] really worked for this one,” Petrovic’s dad Brian texted. “A stingy river, mechanical issues Day 1 that cost us valuable fishing time, to a really slow start on Championship Sunday. Boys fought through it all and ground out a HUGE WIN for Minooka.”
