How do you figure the Illinois High School Association's bass fishing sectionals? Are high schoolers fishing better? Are Chicago-area waters improving? Some things jump out from Thursday. At Braidwood Lake, nine boats weighed in bags heavier than 10 pounds. Lincoln-Way Central Boat 2 (Joe Hanna, John Oziemkowski) anchored its win (15 pounds) with the big bass (4 pounds, 11 ounces). At Shabbona Lake, Batavia 1 (Thomas Woodard, Tucker Oakes, Owen Hartman) won with 15-3, anchored by Woodard's area's best big bass (5-9).
