I 
eral use at that time for black bass fish- 
ing. When 1 exhibited, with some pride, 1 
my home-made eight-foot cedar rod and I 
click reel, he expressed his admiration for , 
the little rod, but doubted its capability | 
to manage and overcome so game a foe as 
the black bass if of fighting size. But l! 
felt no apprehension on that score as Itl 
was the victor in many a hard-fought 
struggle with the striped bass and blue- 
fish of the Patapsco. 
On the Fourth of July, 1855, we took 
the train for the little town of Morrow, 
on the Little Miami river, some thirty 
miles from Cincinnati. My companion 
carried a small minnow bucket and a six- 
foot minnow seine as part of his fishing 
equipment, and we both carried rubber 
boots. Proceeding up the bank of the 
stream we soon came to a tributary brook 
where we captured a supply of lively min- 
nows with the little seine. I resolved to 
watch my friend awhile before wetting 
my own line, in order to gain some knowl- 
edge of a method of fishing of which I was 
totally ignorant. 
Adjusting his float to the proper depth, 
he carefully hooked a minnow just under 
the dorsal fin and tossed it into a deep 
eddy near some rocks. After waiting a 
few minutes, and meeting with no re- 
sponse, he cast the minnow into a ripple 
near a patch of driftwood. The bait had 
scarcely time to sink ere it was seized 
and the float disappeared from view as 
the line went racing through the water, 
cutting erratic angles and curves in a 
way I had never seen before, while the 
rod bent and swayed with the strain, 
when — Ye Gods and little fishes — out 
leaped a wriggling form of a greenish- 
bronze with wide open mouth, red and 
cavernous, that seemed to hurl a defiant 
challenge as with a graceful curve it dis- 
appeared beneath the surface. 
“You’ve lost him.” I cried. 
“Oh, no,” he rejoined, “not yet!” 
And then amid a shower of water the 
brave fish bounded out again, and yet 
again, with scarcely a moment between. 
Jily eyes seemed bulging out of my head 
as I tried to follow him in his eccentric 
courses as the line went hissing through 
the water, now here, now there, with an 
audible swish as he rushed toward the 
rocks, then toward a patch of weeds; but 
foiled by the spring of the rod he again 
leaped out, but scarcely above the surface, 
and with a last defiant wave of his power- 
full tail, he disappeared below. Finally he 
lowered his crest and turned up his ar- 
mored side to the summer sun in sheer 
desperation, and as he was being slowly 
reeled in he seemed to exhibit his defiance 
and to protest against his undue defeat 
by slapping his broad tail on the shim- 
mering surface. 
When the hook was removed from his 
lip, and a sharp knife was thrust through 
the s))inal cord just back of his head, 
he lay still and quiet “like a warrior tak- 
ing his rest.” While gazing on the limp, 
lifeless and tranquil form it was hard to 
realize that, but a few moments before.
