center of the pool. It did not once show 
itself but ran deep, with the line cutting 
the water like a vibrating saw, while the 
reel clicked petulantly. 
Once when trying to check it I felt 
its weight, but not until it paused and 1 
again tried to head it up stream and 
found it as immovable as a stump, did 
realize that at last I had hooked! my 
big trout. My heart gave an exulting 
leap. This was the first trout I had 
ever hooked that was too large for me 
to control, as I found with all the pres- 
sure I cared to put on the line I could 
not move it an inch. I then cast my eye 
over the pool and saw I had a fairly 
smooth sheet of water in which to play 
it. I had always thought that if ever 
I hooked a big trout, owing to the ex- 
citement and my lack of experience in 
handling big fish, it would surely get 
away from me. But strange to say, I 
now felt confident that I could play it 
to a successful conclusion. 
GAVE-OUT line as it again started 
down stream at its steady, grinding 
pace and 1 thought with a feeling of 
triumph of my companion up stream. 
There had been a contention be- 
tween us as to which had caught the 
larger trout. He claimed to have 
caught one nineteen inches long, while 
my largest was not over eighteen. I 
claimed, however, that in spite of the 
length mine weighed more; while he 
claimed that in spite of the weight his 
was longer. And there the matter 
rested. 
But now in my imagination I had the 
present trout landed, and could see it 
stretched out on the bank in all its 
glorified length and "o'eauty, while I pic- 
tured to myself the look of despair and 
amazement on my companion’s face 
when I would show him the largest 
trout that ever had been or more than 
likely ever would be caught in that 
stream — one that would forever settle 
the dispute between us and put the 
laurel wreath of victory on my brow. 
But in the hour of triumph I was to 
know the bitterness of defeat; my reel 
suddenly ceased to click and several 
heavy tugs at the line told me that for 
some unaccountable reason I had a back 
lash. In an emergency of this kind I 
knew I had to act quickly, and so in a 
despairing flurry of excitement I pulled 
frantically at the line, but found it in 
a hopeless tangle. Then I tried again 
to head the trout up stream, but soon 
desisted as I saw the only result would 
be a broken line and a lost fish; and 
then, as my last resort, I bethought me 
of lengthening the line by moving down 
stream, but the steep ridge, encased in a 
ledge of rock, on one side, and a fallen 
tree, its body overgrown with weeds and 
briers and its bony, antlered top reach- 
ing out into the water, on the other, 
made this impossible. There was now 
nothing left for me to do but to hold 
the rod and wait for the trout to free 
itself, — one of the most excruciating 
ordeals that ever fell to the lot of a 
fisherman, — which it did in quick order 
by breaking the snell of the hook.
