THE “BASSINE” STORY 
(Continued from page 547) 
fish ?” He said ; “Come on and show them 
how to catch them.” 
I have told the story of how I caught 
them in an article written for Forest 
AND Stream under the title of “Two 
Wily Bass.” I shall have to crib some 
part of the story in order to describe 
how this incident occurred. 
My scheme was to arrive at the launch 
while all were at lunch and the waters 
quiet and less commotion going on 
around, thus giving me a better chance 
for fooling the wily bass. I made up 
my mind that they might take a very 
active and good-looking tiger frog, 
which was not cast right at them, but, 
as stated in the story, over some grass 
about ten feet away from the launch. 
I had noticed that these fish would dis- 
appear from under the launch and then 
return as if they had procured something 
to eat. They did not catch any food 
under the launch, but would go out and 
get their food and come back and digest 
it in their resting-place. 
The first cast I made did not produce 
any result ; and the second cast I hooked 
the five-pound fish, and after a nice fight 
landed him. 
To my surprise I found that the hotel 
dining-room had been emptied and I had 
a big gallery. And then a fleet of row- 
boats and fishing boats got busy and 
headed for the launch. All those who 
had frogs, artificial or otherwise, were 
anxious to be the first to throw a bait 
to the bass that were biting at last. 
At the request of the proprietor and 
some of the hotel guests, I rowed ashore 
to let them see the fish. Then they 
wanted me to go out and have a try at 
the other fish, but by that time there was 
such a circus going on around the launch 
that I decided to wait and watch the fun 
— the tangling up of lines getting- hitched 
to the launch and all sorts of difficulty. 
There was a guide of some note there 
who had taken a sportsman out fishing. 
They had arrived at the dock at the time 
I hooked the bass. The guide rowed him 
out to the launch, being the first to ar- 
rive, and he took the position that I had 
had to try his luck. It is needless to say 
that his efforts produced no results. 
After the sportsman and his guide were 
tired and disgusted and anxious to have 
their lunch, they gave up the position I 
wanted, after being urged by all to go 
out and see if I could catch the other 
fish. 
I had my man row me to the exact 
position where I made a cast, not at the 
launch, but behind the boats that were 
anchored around the launch. First cast, 
nothing doing ! I cast a second time and 
said to the rower ; “There’s something- 
doing ! I wonder if I’ve got the other 
fish !” As soon as I snubbed him there 
was no question about it when he came 
out of the water, and all the fishermen 
aierf would-be, fishermen stopped to see 
the taking of the fish. After 1 had taken 
the fish into the boat amid the applause 
of the gallery and exclamations of dis- 
appointment from the would-be fisher- 
identify yoii.
