Hayward SEE: MANY a poor
fish gets hooked by faIlin' for
a few gay feathers an
spoon"
After years of hooking EN-, play
ing and losing every dadbinged
musky, Victor DeLaescilles of Day
export, Iowa, finally chased the
jinx and landed his initial big fin
last week Tuesday out of Sand
lake near the Hazen resort. For
years Vic has been coming up to
this section and stays so blamed
long that he is now considered a
genuine native scales, clothes, ac..
tions and everything else that goes
with becoming blue-blood of the
North Woods. His luck as musky
hound has been varied and simply
awful; fishes nearly every day and
has hard luck story around the
lobby fire each evening. And he
has almost broken up the chapel
meetings which Bishop C. P. An
derson holds for the benefit of his
flock at his cabins on Long lake.
Notwithstanding all this and sun
dry other mishaps socially, Mr.. De
Laescilles secured guide license No.
l this spring and being fitted with
the legal end of the game, has been
plying the weedbeds and bars with
every conceivable lure purchaseabie
from here to New York city in the
hopes of one Of the blamed con
traptions proving of such a fascin-
alton to the Old Man Of the Weeds
that he would hog it clean down
to his lower eXtremities and be
yanked in pronto. Vic's big fin
weighed an even "A pounds and
gave him the fight of his life.
Everybody on Sand and Long lakes
heard the noise and knew that Vic
had finally come into his own as
musky hound.
Walter ]. Manhardt of Milwau-
kee is credited with a 22-pound
musky from Big st. German lake
last week. Seems as though the
fight between anglers on Little and
Big st. German is waxing warm
and furious. That's what brings
the big 'uns out of the water.
lester Farrell, native son Of
this section is credited with dan
dy pa pound speckled trout. He
claimed that he took it from the
Haymeadow up around Conover
way last week.
Mrs. Fl. F. Lehmpuhl a guest at
The Lakeside east of Three Lakes,
is the champion bass angler so far.
Her fish, a black bass, weighed in
at 5 pounds 2 ounces. 1t came
from Spirit lake, the body Of water
made famous by early Indian lore
during the early centuries when
the white man was a minus guam
tity in this end of the country,
J. H. Hocomb of Birmingham,
Alabama, a guest at Bent's Camp
up in the peak of the county west
Of Land o Lakes, has a 5 pound
6 or. largcmouth bass to his credit
He claims that the fve-bag limit
is really worth it to every sports
man; says that down south it is
take all you can get and to the
.livvel with the guy who fishes or
hunts for the pleasure and not for
the bag limit. He has been having
excellent sport with the bronze
backs up in the Cisco waters and is
true adherent to Sir Izaak and
his tribe of Waltonians.
Harley Harris returned last week
from the 500 and exhibited a 612
pound rainbow which gave him the
fight Of his life from the fast wa
tiers at the 500. The fish will be
mounted for the Harris home in
Oklahoma, after they leave their
summer place near The Everett.
w. A. McCarrell and O. j. LENS,
stopping at Tobin's on Little st.
German lake, have proved that if
you go after 'em, you get EN-.
