_ “The Ling” 
DEAR FOREST AND STREAM: 
In your July issue, Mr. Paul Jones, 
Laramie, Wyoming, writes describing 
the ling found in the Dinwoody Lakes 
of Northern Wyoming. He classifies 
them as Molva vulgaris and states that 
they are of the same species as the ling 
found in the North Sea and from Spitz- 
bergen to the coast of Portugal. 
I am well aware that no help is re- 
quired from anyone in this country to 
assist in the correct classification of 
American fishes and I therefore make 
my excuse in writing to correct what 
I think is a mistake on your corres- 
pondent’s part, that I was appealed to 
by one of your countrymen who was 
convinced that the Dinwoody Lake ling 
could not be the same as the ling taken 
in the North Sea. 
Messrs. Jordan and Everman in their 
excellent “American Game and Food 
Fishes” describe the ling or lake law- 
yer, Lota maculosa, which appears to 
be the fish your correspondent refers to. 
It is the only fresh water member of 
the cod fish family in America and is 
pretty well distributed in the larger 
lakes of Canada and in the northern 
United States. 
If Mr. Jones will refer to this work, 
page 517, he will, I think, have no dif- 
ficulty in identifying the Dinwoody 
Lake ling as Lota maculosa from the 
description and illustration given.

Large Catfish 
DEAR ForEST & STREAM: 
HERE is a picture of a large catfish 
that I thought might be of inter- 
est to FoREST & STREAM readers. It 
was caught at Bennington, Kansas, in 
Solomon River by Paul Suneraw of 
Moundridge, Kans., and Ed. McCon- 
naughy, of- the same town. Caught 
with pole and line, it-took 15 minutes 
to land the fish, which weighed 26% 
lbs. This is the largest fish caught by 
angling methods at that place for 20 
years. It is a Shovel Head catfish. 
It will identify you. 

The picture with che boy shows about 
how large this fish was. 
As this is a real sporting town we 
have a Rod and Gun Club with 60 mem- 
bers.

Woman Lands Rainbow Trout 
With Her Hands 
DEAR ForREST & STREAM: 
RS. Carpenter, while swimming re- 
cently, saw a striped bass and 
large rainbow trout engaged in des. 
perate combat. 
Mrs. Carpenter’s attention was 
drawn to the contest, as they fought, 
leaping at times above the surface of 
the water. 
The contestants were equally matched 
and it was at once apparent to the 
watchers that the bass had the better: 
of the struggle, the trout seeming to 
lose strength with each attack. 
Then came one leap by the bass and 
the trout went half way down the 
throat of its adversary, when Mrs. Car- 
penter thought it time to interfere. She 
made a grab for the trout, the bass re- 
leasing it as she grasped the trout with 
both hands. Holding on to her catch 
she made her way to the bank where 
she was quickly surrounded by bathers 
and picnickers who were astounded at 
this evidence of luck and skill as well 
as pluck. 
The trout, a rainbow as surmised, 
was a fine specimen of its kind and was 
eighteen inches long. It made a good 
fish dinner for the family, which was 
none the less appreciated, because of 
the unusual method in securing it.
