Suddenly the float disappeared, the 
point of the rod was violently pulled 
into the water, and Luke, awakening, 
took in the situation, and with a sav¬ 
age jerk, struck a large fish which 
threatened to pull him from his perch. 
Indeed, he was forced to follow it into 
the water to save his tackle. 
Luke, seeing them approaching, cried 
out appealingly: 
“Wat I gwine to do wid dis fish?” 
“Keep your pole up, and lead him 
out to the shallow water.” 
Finally, after a few minutes more 
of great effort, and much floundering 
of the fish, he succeeded in getting the 
fish into shallow water, and drew it 
out on the shore, a channel cat-fish, 
weighing fully ten pounds. 
“I got be boss green bass, too, Mars’ 
Nash,” said he, as he drew his fish¬ 
string out of the water and displayed 
a large-mouthed bass of four pounds. 
“And the only large-mouthed bass 
caught this morning,” said the Profes¬ 
sor. “Now, Ignatius,” he continued, 
“lay it side by side with your heaviest 
small-mouthed bass, and you will read¬ 
ily see the principal points of differ¬ 
ence. In the first place, Luke’s fish 
is more robust, or ‘chunkier,’ yours 
being more shapely and lengthy. Then 
Luke’s bass has much the larger mouth, 
its angle reaching considerably beyond 
or behind the eye, while in yours it 
scarcely reaches the middle of the eye; 
thus it is they are called large and 
small-mouthed bass. Then the scales 
of Luke’s are much larger than those 
of yours, for if you count them along 
the lateral line you will find only about 
sixty-five scales from the head to the 
minute scales at the base of the cau¬ 
dal fin, while there are about seventy- 
five on either of your small-mouthed 
bass. You also observe that the scales 
on the cheeks of Luke’s fish are not 
much smaller than those on its sides, 
while on your fish the cheek scales are 
quite minute as compared with those 
on its body. 
“As for Luke’s big-mouthed bass,” 
continued the Professor, “I’ve taken 
them in Florida weighing about four¬ 
teen pounds. I used a ten-ounce rod 
for those big fellows; I could have 
killed them with this little rod by tak¬ 
ing more time and muscle, and use¬ 
lessly prolonging the struggles of the 
fish, but I deem that unsportsmanlike.” 
“I’ve heard,” said Ignatius, “that 
most of the Florida bass are taken with 
the hand-line and trolling-spoon.” 
“That is the way most Northern 
tourists usually take them, because 
they don’t know how to handle a rod; 
and then, the necessary tackle for 
hand-trolling can be carried in the 
pocket. It is the simplest mode of 
angling, if it can be dignified by the 
name, for it is more suggestive of 
meat, or ‘pot,’ than sport. The pseudo-
