THE AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY 
RECORDS OF WOMEN EXPERTS. 
Editor Fish and Fishing: 
I am keeping what to me is a very interesting 
record of big fish caught from year to year. I 
am under the impression that the ladies have 
entered the list as big fish hunters, but I am 
unable to get any reliable record of their catches. 
Can you help me out by supplying such a record 
or list? F. E. T., Roxbury, Mass. 
Yes sir, you are right in your contention that 
the fair sex have landed some big fish and I am 
pleased to be able to give you the following 
records: Mrs. C. F. Mander, of Brooklyn, landed 
a striped bass that went 44 pounds. This fish 
was caught at Forked River, N. J.; Mrs. H. C. 
Fisher holds the channel bass record, the fish 
which weighed 30 pounds was caught at Beach 
Haven, N. J., on September 12, 1915; Mrs. H. 
C. Fisher is the holder of the woman’s record 
of the Asbury Park Fishing Club for striped 
bass. Mrs. Fisher’s catch going 33 pounds; 1531 
weakfish in one season is the record of Mrs. F. 
J. Patten, of New York City. Mrs. Patten’s 
fish were all caught in Barnegat Bay. A musca- 
longe that went 42 pounds was caught by another 
New Yorker, a Mrs. Hermann Mann. This 
“musky” was taken at the Thousand Islands; an¬ 
other large muscalonge is that caught by Miss 
Georgia D. Townsend, in Lake Ripley. While 
Miss Townsend’s “musky” was somewhat smaller 
than that caught by Mrs. Mann, it tipped the 
scales very near the 30 pound mark, 29^ pounds 
to be exact. Topping both fish caught by the 
above mentioned ladies is the 47^ pound musca¬ 
longe from the Niagara river caught by Miss 
Lillian S. W. Tompkins, while Mrs. J. W. Rein- 
holdt is credited with a muscalonge of 32J4 
pounds, the fish being caught in Big Lake 
Manitowish, Wisconsin. Mrs. Thomas S. With¬ 
erspoon, in Georgian Bay, Ontario, Canada, 
landed a small mouth bass of six pounds and 
four ounces. Miss Juliet fishing in Folansbee 
Pond, New York, landed a pike of some 25 
pounds and still another pike, this one i 6$4 
pounds being the catch of Miss W. E. Peck, in 
Lake Mary, Minnesota. A trout (rainbow) fell 
to the rod of Mrs. D. L. McKay, in Klamath 
Lake, Oregon, that weighed 21 pounds, six 
ounces. 
So you see F. E. T., the ladies are crowding us 
men very hard for first honors in a sport that 
many consider is a man’s game alone. 
BAIT FOR BASS IN DEEP WATER. 
Editor Fish and Fishing: 
I have not been a reader of your magazine 
very long but I look forward to it every month. 
Will you please answer these questions? What 
is the best bait to use for bass in very deep 
still water lakes, where there are no crawfish 
and helgramites? Is there any good trout fish¬ 
ing near Philadelphia and where is it? 
Why not obtain crawfish and helgramites from 
some dealer before making trip to the lake? 
Minnows and lamper eels also make good bait. 
Little froggies frequently make a tempting lure; 
in addition try grasshoppers, dragon flies, and 
caterpillars, especially, if you try shallow waters 
where there are weeds and lily pads. Early 
morning and night are the best times to fish the 
shallow waters while it does not matter so much 
what time of day you fish in deep water. Arti¬ 
ficial nature lures, made by Louis Rhead, are 
also meeting with quite some success. The fol¬ 
lowing streams in Pennsylvania may be worth 
trying, Glen Eyre, Pike County, Penn., reached

TUNA FISHING AT BLOCK ISLAND. 
Editor Fish and Fishing: 
Members of the Atlantic Tuna Club, of Block 
Island, are somewhat excited over the appear¬ 
ance in Block Island waters of large numbers of 
tuna. Messrs. C. W. Willard and A. Julian 
Crandall both members of the club returned on 
August 7th from a short trip to the Island. 
Mr. Crandall’s boat brought in about ten fish 
and Mr. Willard and Dr. Keefe, of Providence, 
R. I., brought back fifteen fish, four of which 
weighed about 100 pounds. 
Many beautiful yachts are at anchor in New 
Harbor and the owners and their guests are hav¬ 
ing the best of sport on the fishing grounds. 
C. W. W.,Westerly, R. I. 
Truly great sport, this tuna fishing and the 
best remedy ever for the jaded nerves. 
In connection with the above mentioned club 
wc are pleased to note a recent report of the 
annual meeting of the Atlantic Tuna Club, at 
which time Charles W. Willard, of Westerly, 
R I., was re-elected president, and the Hon. Z. 
W. Bliss, secretary.
