HOW BIG IS A 
TROUT ? 
(continued from page 348) 
One that weighed iO$i pounds nine hours- 
after it was caught in June, 1886, by Dr. 
Charles Haddock, of Beverly, Mass. It 
was said to be a “clean cut perfectly sym¬ 
metrical fish 28(4 inches long and 16 (4 inches 
girth.” This fish was again reported in 
Forest and Stream of July 27th, 1895, with 
exactly the same data, as having been caught 
that year In 1888 one of io (4 pounds was 
taken in August, and another of 10(4 in' 
May, 1890. One of io (4 was taken in 
June, 1897; one of 10 in May, 1898; one of 
10 in May, 1903; one of 103-16 July 30th, 
1907, by Capt. S. Z. H. Slocum, U. S. A., 
and one of 10 in May, 1908. 
Of fish ranging from 9 pounds but not 
including 10 pounds, there are records of 
about 30, of which the largest was 9j4> 
caught in May, 1901. Two others almost 
as large, 911-16 each, were caught in Sep¬ 
tember, 1897, and June, 1906, respectively. 
Nine of 9(4 pounds each are mentioned as 
having been caught October, 1877, for fish 
culture; October, 1878, for the same pur¬ 
pose; August, 1883; June, 1884; September, 
1885; June, 1887; September, 1897; May, 
1911; and July, 1910. Five of 9(4 each 
were taken respectively, in October, 1873, 
for fish culture; September, 1884; Septem¬ 
ber, 1885; April, 1896; and September, 1897. 
One stated to weigh over 9 pounds was re¬ 
corded for May, 1890, taken on a fly at 
Upper Dam. One of 9(4 pounds was taken 
for fish culture in October, 1878, and one 
of the same weight caught September, 1892. 
Eleven or more of 9 pounds, each of which 
was taken at spawning time, have been re¬ 
corded. 
Over sixty weighing 8 pounds and over 
and less than 9 pounds are authentically re¬ 
corded, of which not more than a dozen 
were fish-cultural records. They are still 
catching big ones in Maine, but no reco r ds 
have been broken lately. 
N OW for the Nepigon. This district has 
been famous for years, but unfortu¬ 
nately records have not been kept as 
accurately as in Maine. The late Charles ^ 
Hallock, founder of Forest and Stream, 
mentions a 17 pound square tail trout as ■ 
having been taken there, but definite data 
are lacking. This paper recorded only last 
summer the capture of a trout weighing 
over 14 pounds in the Nepigon, this on the 
authority of Mr. Edwin Sanborn, a rec- 1 
ognized scientific angler, but the report has , 
stirred up some controversy. 
That there are still immense trout in the 
Nepigon river is conceded, and now that 
the big lake—hitherto an almost unknown j 
wilderness region—has been made acces¬ 
sible by railroad, we may expect almost 
any day to hear that some angler favored 
by the gods has landed a new record 
breaker, fishing at the mouth or up one ; 
of the numerous rivers rushing into Lake 
Nepigon. 
It is also conceded, from the very nature 
and probability of the case, that the largest 
trout ever taken by a white man has not 
matched up with some caught by Indians. 
The latter have the most opportunity: they 
are familiar with localities and are not 
averse to spearing or netting spawning
