About this Article

The talk of this year's Chain O’ Lakes Ice Fishin’ Derby and Winter Festival was the 40-inch catfish caught Sunday by an Ingleside family. Despite the rain and warm temperatures, hundreds of ice fishermen, from as far away as Canada and Germany, were able to fish near Channel Lake in Antioch.
