Down splashed my rod into the water before I 
comprehended what had happened, and when my 
hand loosened on the line, wheeze went the reel 
as if struck by a dynamo. Full thirty feet that 
amazing fish whipped out in a jiffy, and then by 
straining my rod until I feared it would snap I 
turned him and he cut around toward the shore 
in a huge arch. What devil possessed that fish 
I knew not, but in an instant he had reinvigorated 
me and I fought for all I was worth. When he 
struck the shallow water, not a yard from the 
bank, about he wheeled and shot straight down 
the shore toward me and I frantically ripped in 
the line. Then he probably saw my figure, for he 
turned suddenly, rose to the surface with a 
mighty commotion and plunged irresistibly into 
the depths. The line hissed through the guides 
as again that nine and one-half inch leviathan 
bade defiance to my tackle and drew asthmatic 
screeches from the reel.

Then he stopped short, my rod straightened, 
and the line hung limp. What satanic power had 
bewitched that bass? Where was he? What 
was he? Imagination began to play weird tricks 
with my credulity. I pulled in the line gently, 
dubiously, and a soft jerk trembled up the rod. 
I stopped, in suspense, ready for another catapult 
rush, but only the same diffident tug responded. 
In rather a dazed condition I then reeled in and 
there on the leader hung that same little fellow 
with whom, a few moments before, I had been 
amusing myself. Surprise does not begin to de¬ 
pict my feelings. I was completely bewildered 
and flawed, set back, beaten, down and out. 
You all know what a nine and a half inch black 
bass is—he isn’t altogether a dainty mouthful. 
Well, sorely perplexed, I bent over to lift that 
flapping prodigy from the water, and then the 
truth flashed out. Just aft of the gills on both 
sides, and running half way around his body, 
were several deep scores where the scales had 
been ripped off, and where many of them were 
still hanging to the ragged sides of the gashes. 
Benumbed, I sat down and gazed in wonderment 
at that sight. I forgot to kill him, though he did 
not seem to have much life left. What had 
happened? Had some tuna grown wings, mi¬ 
grated, and dropped down for a meal in the 
Sprain Lake? There are no pickerel in that 
sheet of water, nothing but bass, perch and the 
smaller species. Then it must have been a mon¬ 
ster, the giant of them all, that drove his sharp 
fangs into his great-grandson’s sides that day, 
and for two heroic minutes I was fast to that 
whale (in a way). 
I took that great-grandson home and ate him; 
he was delicious. And now Mr. Editor of Forest 
and Stream, if you wish to prosecute me, go 
right ahead, I’m waiting. 
Those large mouth bass in that beautiful little 
lake are highly sophisticated. In fact, to judge 
by their actions, they are, one and all, post¬ 
graduates, or professors themselves, and so I 
anticipate in this good democratic year, with our 
professorial cabinet in full blast, finding them 
much more amenable to the gentle art of the wise 
and learned angler. And if you are looking for 
an aqueous gem of purest water, you will wander 
far before you match its beauty. Nestled amid 
those rolling hills, framed in brilliant fields of 
purple and bright yellow, there it lies, pierced 
with shadow and blazing in silvery opals.
