FOREST AND STREAM 
MANITOWISH CUP CONTEST. 
The fishing season at “The Manitowish” open¬ 
ed with nice catches of trout and pike during 
the first few days of the open season. 
After that the fishing game was not so ardent¬ 
ly pursued during the early part of the season 
as in some other years. However, warmer weath¬ 
er brought fishermen from the cities in search 
of the wall-eyed pike, the wily bass, the elusive 
lake trout and the gamy muscallonge. 
The appearance of the Forest and Stream tro¬ 
phy created much enthusiasm and every angler 
secretly imagined himself the proud owner of 
the largest “musky” of the season and the cup 
alike.

On August 13, Wm. McArthur, guiding for 
Mrs. C. E. Curley of St. Louis, caught a 31% 
pound muscallonge, which has been the largest of 
the season but is not eligible to compete for the 
trophy. This fish measured 47 inches in length 
and 24 inches in girth. It took the hook easily, 
ran out about 30 feet of line, a number 23 test 
silk line, played about five minutes and was 
pulled in and easily captured at the end of this 
time. 
A few days later Mrs. Curly got a 25 pounder 
in one of the three Greshams. The cup was now 
conceded to belong to her. 
On September 2, Mr. C. J. Butterfield and Dr. 
Kenney, both of Chicago, fished in Big Arbor 
Vitae. They brought in two large muscallonge, 
Mr. Butterfield’s weighing 26 pounds, being 46 
feet long and 21 inches in girth—a beautiful 
fish. The other caught by Dr. Kenney weighed 
19 pounds. 
The 19 pound fish was hooked first and was 
landed in about 10 minutes with comparatively 
little trouble. The 26 pounder went to the bot¬ 
tom immediately after it felt the hook and had 
to be played nearly half an hour before it could 
be brought up to the boat. Roth of these fish 
leaped out ot the water their full length up¬ 
right upon being hooked.
