monster catfish, measuring eleven inches
across the he ad from eye TO eye. The feat was

summoned youth to bring alongside a small
boat, while he played from his position 10 ex.
haust the fish ia the river. Upon the arrival Of
the boat he hauled In his line and made a sprlng

strike outside, he tilted over and half OF his
body went into the water. while the youth in
the beat dexterously caught him by the left
hand as he was falling and soon raised him
above the surface. Holding OH TO the line, he
cared little for the ducking, and had the salts

completely eXhausted-of drawing his priza

largest ever caught in these waters.
