SIX pounds, n * ever a nsh appeared
TO be loaded with s%plenetic fireworks
and dynamic explosions it was on this
memorable occasion.
So long as the fracas endured I MAIN
tained my nerve and strength, but when
At last the belligerent brute was brought
to the boat and the contents Of a heavy
revolver emp,ied into his ma; head I
caved In completely exhausted.
Planting Ground Lake IL one Of .
chain OF fine lakes known locally a.
Eagle Waters. and black bass and mas
calonge are found in them AL. while
they are the only waters in which musky
shoots into the air and shakes himself
nercely in q frenzied effort TO avoid the
hook.
And when a big Ash Of this savags
species flies into the ar and exhibits
its vicious anger IL becomes a sight to
thrill every hbre In the human system.
I have taken this fsh from Chau;auaua
Lake and from the 81. Lawrence and
Mississippi rivers, n never saw one
leap from the water.
II was in Medicine Lake. one OF the
Eagle chain. that I fastened TO my spoon
a slice Of pork fat o as thick and
az long As a lea pencil. and dipping II
into the water beside my boat ound II
operated with a most attractive wiggie.
In a short time a muskie OF about
eighteen pounds seized H.. and when he
flew into the air l was amazed to see
another muskie OF about the same size
also leap from the water close 10 the
hooked fish and both repeated the wild
leap several times.
I,pon bringing the nsh near 10 the
beat l saw the other swimming close b..
and not until l brought my hsh TO the
side Of the boat did the other muskle
disappear.
Although I had heard that masca-
ionge forage in pairs l was never able
10 satisfy myself II this was the forag-
ing companion Of the hooked fish. his
wife. or II 4, was merely another h
fish who wanted some OF the wigg,ing
pork, and while I worked over the anne
field for an hour ! succeeded only In
securing a smaller FISH Of abou, e!gh,
pounds.
