A Modern Fish Story.
RAYMOND, May 3.

RAYMOND, mayo.
To the Editor of the Press:
noticed in the Argus of May 1st an arti-
Gle on black bass fishing in Oxford. The
gentleman who wrote it describes bass sas
hosting his back fin and completely dividing
big plckerel into two separate pieces at
the first charge. Now Mr.. oxford does not
credit the pickerel with courage enough to
fight or sense enough to get out Of the way.
He is mistaken, however, for a piekerel IS
armed with generous set Of Claws, still
more generous stomach and courage enough
to back up both. Why. a friend of mine
captured pickerel in this vicinity recently
weighing 81 pounds that had three full
grown bass, four ehubs, one hornpout and
not pursuit Of bass No. in the bramble
bushes ten feet from the water when my
friend killed him with an oar. Don't worry
about the piekerel. When they start on the
war path they mean business, now tell you.
