Earny Wcndt, guide extraordinary, of the North Woods country, and 

 a .M' j -pound muskellunge landed by Earny, on September 29, from the 

 cool waters of Little Muskellunge Lake, head waters of the Black Lake 

 String, McNaughton, Wisconsin. The line with which this musky was 

 brought to gaff te-ted out at 7 ! : t pounds on the break. To land a game 

 fish of this sixe on a line of that test shows remarkable angling skill, 

 equal, if not finer, than the skill of the cotton-thread fisherman of salt 

 fame.
