must have been made very
short time previous to our catching the fish,
for it was bleeding quite freely and looked
very fresh, and If the fish could feel pain it
would certainly have deferred it from tax

There was only one other party fishing on
the lake that day, as 1t was cold and windy,
and that pickerei must have received his
injury from them and have come nearly
across the lake to us, dragging that piece OF
heavy line with him.
