Stray Cast: Nye, Belickick, Banks, bowfin, snakehead, perch

Dale Bowman

This site and our outdoors media company is named for the Stray Cast, which has snapped off my outdoors column on Wednesdays in the Sun-Times since April 2, 2003.

Here is the latest:

Bill Nye is to Bill Belichick what bowfin are to northern snakeheads; Ernie Banks is to baseball what jumbo yellow perch are to Chicago fishing.
