A MEMORABLE YEAR 151 



This finished my season among the pike for that year 

 at any rate, and I set it down as being one of the best I ever 

 had, and a season that I shall always remember, not exactly 

 for the size of its fish, but for the pleasurable memories that 

 cling so lovingly round it. But after all, the total weight 

 recorded is only five hundred pounds, and I have known 

 two rods to equal that weight in one day, when the venu 

 has been his lordship's private lake.
