alton will overcome the fish.
Thousands of thoughts wheel
through the mind of our hero as
he eyes his lure idling on the
surface.
Finally, after what seems an
eternity, he gives the rod a
slight witch, causing the plug
to skitter along the surface.
This supposed escape Of his
quarry is more than our scaled
adversary can stand.
The entire lake seems to ex-
plode as he brings his power
full, crushing jaws onto the de-
fenseless piece Of balsam. The
fisherman gives the rod an au-
thoritative yank to set the hook.
The sensation of tempered steel
sinking into his grisly lips pre-
sents the old bronze-back with
an ominously vivid picture of
oncoming doom. Charging
through the water in an insane
manner, the bass goes through
a series of leaps, dives, and
runs, in a desperate effort to
shake the hook. This being Of
no avail, he charges for the
stump. The angler, feeling the
great strain of the run of the
powerful fish. is forced to yield
line for fear of the light mono
filament swapping under the
pressure on the hook.
THE bass, in all his glory.
leaps into the air, shaking his
silvery body in a final effort to
free himself of this unseen ad-
versary. In the splendor of red
dening sky and blue-greet cat
tails. he seems like a great war
lord in all his pride and vanity
proclaiming his might to the en-
tirety of his domain.
And suddenly, as if done
with the care and speed of a
skilled surgeon. the hook flies
from his mouth into the water.
Free at last, the noble big
mouth glides to the bottom in
regal splendor to nurse his ten
der lip. Deep in the heart of our
Debated sportsman, there is a
feeling of great weight and de-
spair.
But never fear. ne shall re-
turn. This will not be the last
victory nor his last defeat. But
no matter what happens, this
sport has hooked him just as
surely as that fish. the only diff
ference being that he stands no
chance to shake it

simple but effective.
