dOgtish in your creel with a
catfish.
Guests of Normandy Court on
Big st. German lake have started
the fight in good shape against Lit
tie st. German anglers, and this
week have cleaned house with that
sportive bunch. Here is last weeks
record: Mrs. G. Pipenhagen of
Chicago sets the hook into a 912
pound walleye and did it nicely.
Then l.. M. Common of the same city
brings in Az and ga pound wall
eye and one smallmouth bass
weighing 4 pounds even. Howard
w. Bellows, chaperoning Column
bus, Ohio crowd cleans the other
members with an 812 pound wall
eye. Bellows has fshed all over the
country and in Canada, and he
fishes for the sport of the fight.
He showed this spirit when he
played his walleye a full hour on a
5-oz. rod. He's the kind of a sports
man that does your heart good to
meet up with. 1t isn't a full creel,
but the play of the fish he is after.
Another member of the Columbus
party had dinged bad luck in
musky angling; old big fins would
follow the lure to the boat and
then shake their tails and beat 1t
for their stalls.
At the store in Phelps last week
there were two mighty fine mus
kellunge on display, both taken out
of Twin lakes. One of the fish be-
longed to J. c. Hayes, Jr. a guest
of The Tilden resort east of Eagle
River. Said to have taken Hayes
two hours Of play in landing the
fish. Twin lake sure put on some
fightin' old boys when they take
the lure.
Little St. German lake produces
one this week-a Az pound black
bass which was caught by John
Hanke Of New York, a guest at
Jackson's cottages.
1t seems to us that George
Young of Milwaukee would learn
that to be good sport one simply
needs to follow the mandates of
allowing something for the future
guy who is not yet out Of swaddling
clothes. Several weeks ago Young
was taken to Crandon for killing
deer out of season at Franklin
lake. Last week Barney Devine
again nailed Young for hunting at
nighttime with a f1ashlight, and a
shotgun in the boat. His alibi was
that this time he wanted to show a
friend a deer by shining it along
Franklin's sandy beach. However,
there is a mighty good sportsman
in the Judge at Crandon, who
salved Young's feelings by extract
ing a century bill from his pocket
for his friendliness to his friend in
spotting deer at night. Young,
who is a member of firm of pat
emit attorneys in Milwaukee, might
just as well learn that it's a dam
poor guy who will shine deer at
night with a shotgun in the boat
and two buckshot shells in his
pocket. Whoever does this is vio-
lating, and at the same time is no
good a-tall for the country who
has to put up with his presence
during the closed season. Next
time a jail sentence stares someone
in the face if caught pulling such
damnable methods in this section.
Why can't a man be a man?
And they still insist that the
Eagle chains are fished out;
brought about possibly by the idea
advanced that the local hatchery
has been depicting the waters of
it's fish by shipping away it's young
each year. This is a very bad err
ror on the gentleman who recently
wrote an article in which this un-
supported statement was made.
Anyhow, that eight-pound walleye
taken this week from Carpenter
lake by Arthur Strack of Milwau-
