TWO SALT-WATER GAME FISHERMEN WITH THEIR PRIZES OF A DAY 
These two Channel Bass, one weighing 47 pounds and the other 23, show the possibilities of sport 
with rod and reel in sea fishing. He who gets a game hsh weighing from 40 to 200 pounds on a hook becomes 
a party to a battle royal in which man and fish may struggle tor hours, with victory trembling in the balance 
all the while and the issue undecided until the very last moment.
