Fish Climbs into Boat UNLIMITED

Ernest Q. Decker tells story OF a
pickerel that insisted on climbing in
to a boat at Kingsbury Pond. Mr..
Decker was fishing there one after
noon and observed, a short distance
away, another boat in which was
Phineas Sylvester and Charles Hilton.
They we're fishing for perch and he
saw them take quite few in the or
binary manner with baited hook and
line held in the hand. All at once
his attention was attracted by a fish
which to him appeared a couple OF
feet long and likely to weigh four or
five pounds. 1t broke the water
alongside of the boat and jumped
right over the side. OF course he
supposed that 1t had been hooked and
was being captured with line man
ipulated by one of the fishermen. A
little later he rowed down near the
boat in question and was astonished
to hear that the fish which he had
seen was a big pickerel weighing four
pounds which had come aboard unin-
vited. 1t WAS to be presumed that he
was chasing one of the perch which
had been hooked and followed him
clear into the boat. None of the par
ty had ever heard of such a thing be-
fore. They were quite willing, how
ever. to accept the pickerel, as it
would seem, from hand of Providence.
Mr.. Decker says that he has often
seen small pickerel travelling along
now in and now above the surface Of
the water. He thinks perhaps under
such circumstances they were being
chased by other fish. He has also
known of fish catching hold of one al
ready on the hook and being drawn
into the boat In that manner. Even
this occurrence, however, is somewhat
rare and he has never, except in the
above instance, known of a fish climb
ing on board entirely unlimited and
unaided.
