FISHERMAN’S LUCK 
To the Editor of Forest and Stream: 
A LL fishermen are lucky. They may 
not be lucky in results attained, 
but they are lucky and favored above 
other individuals in being able to pursue 
such a sport. And lucky above other 
fishermen is he who has been able to 
taste the joys of both salt and fresh 
water fishing for game fish. 
It has been my good fortune to have 
captured game fish of all descriptions in 
both salt and fresh waters, and I have 
come to the conclusion that any man is 
foolish indeed who will come out with 
the point blank statement that this or 
that fish caught with this or that tackle 
is the gamest fish of all the finny tribe. 
I long ago learned not to make any such 
positive statements or even to think them 
to myself. I take off my hat to all of 
those noble champions who have made so 
many pleasant hours for me. 
I have had an eight inch brook trout, 
with blood in his eye, and tail set cross- 
wise of a rushing mountain stream, give 
me just as good a fight as a six pound 
black bass, and I have even known a cold 
water sucker when he had been badly 
fooled and his blood was up to make as 
game a fight as one could wish. In cer- 
tain seasons of the year and under cer- 
tain environments which differ for each 
species, any of the game fishes in making 
his supreme effort, will arouse so much 
enthusiasm and admiration in the breast 
of the true fisherman that he will not 
even think of making odious compari- 
sons. 
I had been reading an article in a re- 
cent number of a sporting magazine, in 
which the author had described his cap- 
ture of a certain sea fish with his bass 
casting-rod, and was loud in his asser- 
tions that he had discovered the sport 
par excellence. I was thinking to my- 
self, “Not so, brother, not so.” I remem- 
bered a certain October afternoon, off 
Galveston Island, when I had hooked a 
thirty-six pound jack fish with my bass 
casting rod and tackle and wondered 
whether the author might not become 
more broad minded if some time he could 
enjoy such an afternoon as mine had been. 
I remembered hooking a large Spanish 
mackerel on my trout rod and tackle and 
again, mentally passed the buck to the 
assertive author. Another picture flashed 
on the screen and again I lived through 
that memorable afternoon when five of us 
on the receiving end of a large hawser 
brought to shore a fourteen foot shark. 
I wondered if the author had ever 
stood on a slippery rock on Bettison’s 
Jetty and caugth a six foot tarpon on a 
light hand casting line, or if off the same 
jetty he had ever caught an old bullhead 
with either trout or bass tackle. Had he 
ever captured a fourteen pound rainbow 
in the rushing, roaring Shoshone or a 
record breaking silver-sides in the Willa- 
mette? Had he been at Catalina and 
tried for yellowtail on a trout rod? Had 
he ever stood at the mouth of the Rio 
Grande and at the exact spot where the 
river empties into the Gulf, cast a bass 
lure with the trusty old bass-rod, and if 
so had he enjoyed the thrills that were 
mine when either a baby tarpon or a two 
or three foot shark 'swallowed the bait?
