Big Fish: A family Fish of the Week, a muskie bigger than the kids

Kevin Butts of Chicagoland Muskie Hunters had one of those special family days this month with a 38-inch muskie in northern Illinois.

“Caught it trolling with my wife [Andrea Tamillo], 3 1/2-year-old son [Weston Butts] and 20-month-old daughter [Vail Butts],’’ Butts emailed.

He noted that the unpictured Tamillo was ``very handy with the net and making sure the kids didn’t fall in!’’
