! strings. Saturday, however, he went
out in quest of lakers and when he re-
| turned to shore he had Il 171s-pound
| togue to show for his skill as an an
| gler. The big fish attracted a great deal
of attention and has been the talk of
the outing, so far. among fishermen.
This is not the largest togue ever

there is record of a 26-pounder, but
it is sufficiently large to be worthy of
| mention. for it is a number of pounds
| larger than the average togue which is

and fishermen say. more are taken that

has ACCOMPLISHED something of which
he may well feel proud.
