Up on the fifth floor of the
Provident building in a quiet suite
of office rooms, with door
marked private. is the hang-out
by day of one of the most fascin-
ating Ike Waltons in Tacoma.
One of the favored few-the IA
vored few are all good listeners
entered that private office very
quietly today.
Say" yelled the famous fisher
man, as soon as he caught a
glimpse of the visitor, did you
ever have a dream so vivid that
you didn't know you'd been
asleep?
You see, I'd been reading
about that new discovery that a
bunch of Morse fishermen have
made, with the aid of micro
phone.
"Well, these Norsemen have dis
covered that by lowering a micro
phone into the water you can tell
all about the kind of fish that are
monkeying around their boats. If
it's a shrill whistle, it's a herring,
and series of grunts means a
bunch of cod are nibbling at the
hook. You can see what cinch it
is.
"Well, the first thing I knew I
was fishing
Eyes, he weighed 10 pounds and
he was about SO long,
and, talk about being sassy, say,
that fish simply gave me the mer-
ry ha, ha, and actually kidded me
for trying to catch anything except
with perch minnows for
bait. Get away? or course he
did. But l finally got him
You see, the next morning I
was on the job early, and the
short conversation l had had with
him had been as good as a course
in a fish college. l slipped a pref
ty sucker minnow on the hook and
then dropped my microphone in
to the water.
There was a rubberneck perch
down there, and it seems that he
had overheard the conversation
I'd had with the big fellow, and
was anxious for revenge on &C
count of the sighting way his
species had been referred to. I
knew 1t was a perch by the way
he wheezed whenever he talked
over the phone.
well, heard a quick ring,
and the minute I took down the
receiver / knew there was some
thing doing. 'eGt ready for that
big fellow the perch yelled; hes
a trifle befuddled this morning;

of the storm last night Thanks

later my reel was whizzing like a
buzz saw.
We'll, you can imagine that
fight, if you have ever caught
big muskie on a light bass tackle.
Say, If you want something easy,
take a lunge any day in place of
a 10-pound bass.
Then the phone rang again.
Say. old man, that was a dandy
scrap. 1t was the perch again.
But, by the way, if you haven't
any use for that tub full of perch
minnows, throw a few of them
over the side. l amt above be-
