Reg Garstang says that while

has, he wants it understood that he
will back down to no one when il
/ comes to snagging monster speci-
ments of the humber varieties. Last
! year Reg took sixteen inch yellow
/ perch from Freeman lake. and If
/ you know your yellow perch you
can appreciate that feat.
Then to show that he's not slip
| ping. he persuaded an eleven inch
red eye out of Eagle creek last Sun
day. He says it was a noble scrap
much better than two twelve inch
/ bass gave him. All were taken or
nightcrawlers.
G. R. Swain calls up to say that
I'm all wrong about bass taking
only one type of lure as reported
last Tuesday. With Earl Haver-
I sticks and Walter Thornberry he
1 got IA bass and about 20 crappies in
Freeman lake last Saturday and
/ Sunday.
The bass struck a black Garter
plug and a Jack Vending lure. They
wouldn't look at a minnow. I was
right about that, anyhow.
