HERE is THE FISH
STORY THAT TOOK A PRIZE

A few weeks ago the Western News
told how Deputy Game Warden Dor
rington had won fine casting reel
as a prize for one of the best fish
stories submitted in nationwide con-
test. Here is the story that won the
prize, which proves that the game war
den yields powerful pen as we'll as
skillful fish pole. The story follows:
Of my many fishing trips the one
that gave me the biggest thrill was
back in 1918. Possibly this was because
| had with me my youngest boy, an
enthusiastic young fisherman.
1t was along about the middle Of
June, my boy and I took a boat and
started fishing close into the mouths
of small streams that empty into St.
Mary's lake. | was not expecting to
make any record catch; simply out for
mess or SO of cut throat trout These
fish that feed along these places
weighed about a pound to a pound and
half So, consequently, was fishing
with fairly light tackle, number six
hook and small Colorado spinner and
six foot leader. The lake was not any
too calm and as my boy was too small
to handle a boat | was pretty much
occupied as the fish were taking hold
Esetty good They were on top of
the small waves | would row across
the mouth of the stream about 100
feet out. had done this back and forth
about a dozen times and had about all
10 s~t e., L.
about quitting, when it happened |
had hooked what supposed an unusu-
ally large cut throat and was Keeling
him in when | noticed when he came
| te==the top he was belly up. showing
white belly He was acting stranger
than any fish | had ever caught It was
not long before realized had an
unusually large Mackinaw trout
/ AT first was afraid of his jerking
loose my hook or breaking it, for |
gave up all hope of landing such a
| fish without any help | was letting the
boat drift to shore where man was
getting out some logs to repair a dock
kept shouting to this fellow He
finally understood something was the
matter SO showed off a row boat and
came over. When he saw the fish |
had hooked he was somewhat excited
/ shouted to him that had hooked the
trout about 80 minutes since and had
no hopes of landing him, but was play
ing him and having good time of it.
He told me to hang on and he would
row in and get gaff hook, which he
did He rowed around and around me.
The fish went under his boat and
gave up, thinking he was sure a goner,
but still had him. My boy was some
what excited and | was afraid he would
| fall out of the boat, so | would not have
cared much if the DANCED fish had got
away. However, the gaff hook finally
got him and when we examined him
he was hooked not in the mouth but
under the throat and was unable to get
at the line as it appeared he was trying
to do each time he came to the top,
belly up.
/ The fish weighed exactly 81 pounds
and was Al inches long Had hooked
this fish in the mouth with the same
tackle would never have known what
had on. The picture enclosed is of
the mackinaW trout and the boy. Boy
and fish the same height took the
picture, the wife holding the fish.
