The annual crop of fish stories
are being circulated now. This one
from a Nauvoo newspaper has a new
twist: A certain Nauvoo citizen vent
fishing last Saturday. That's not sur
nrising for Nauvoo citizens as there
are many who go fishing, but there
are few who ever had the experience
this certain citizen had While stalk
ing about on the rocky shore he
caught fish on his pole line and the
fish pulled the pole into the river.
The citizen ran into the water and
made a grab for the pole, but as he
did so, Mr. Fish took the pole out
another three or four feet. He waded
out further and made another dive
for the pole, but fell short as the
fish pulled the pole out into deeper
water He made four dives for the
pole and got into the water up to
his armpits before he succeeded in
grabbing the pole. Although his
clothes were thoroughly soaked he
felt repaid for his perform ance-as
he not only got back his pole and
line, but a 31k pound catfish as well.
