Prize Announcement 
Material Concerning Prize Winners in the Various 
Divisions Will Be Published in Future Issues 
ing ground in upper New York 
State, came the affidavit printed 
below, together with outline drawing 
and photo. 
Elton Tuttle is the lucky sonny boy 
who takes first prize in the small mouth 
black bass division. In the photo, the 
winning fish (weight 3 lb., 10 oz.) is 
held in the lad’s right hand. The other 
fish, also a small mouth, weighed an 
even three pounds. It takes skill and 
coolness to land these northern fighting 
fish on a fly rod and artificial lure and 
we congratulate Elton Tuttle on his 
success. 
The following letter by the winner 
tells the story of the capture: 
EpITOR SONNY Boy 
FISHING CONTEST: 
fF ROM Fulton Chain, a famous fish- 
On the morning of 
June 27th, Dad and I 
decided to take a day 
off to go fishing. After 
a few minutes of 
preparation we were 
on the lake in Dad’s 
guide boat headed for 
the famous fishing 
grounds. 
It was an overcast 
day and while rowing 
across lst Lake of 
the Fulton Chain of 
Lakes, an _ electrical 
storm came up and we 
were thoroughly 
drenched when we 
reached the shelter of 
a state camp. After 
it stopped raining, we 
went out on the lake 
again and cast our 
lines here and there. 
We had a few little 
strikes, but nothing 
very good. We went 
to a little spring hole 
emptying into the 
lake and while there 
caught a few speckled 
beauties, one weigh- 
ing nearly a pound. 
It soon began to grow 
dark and we turned 
toward home. While 
on the way we caught 
a few bass of medium 
size. We were very 
wet and chilled when 
we struck the narrow channel leading 
homeward and it was as dark as a 
pocket. 
We had two favorite spots on our 
way home from which many a large 
bass had been taken. I was very tired 
and sleepy, but as I cast my favorite 
old gray Devil Bug, which had already 
caught many bass for me, close to the 
rocky shore—ZOWIE! something took 
my line and went for deep water 
around under the boat and BELIEVE 
ME! I wasn’t asleep any more. After 
having one grand battle, I finally led 
him slowly up to the boat and carefully 
lifted him over the edge with a sigh 
of relief to know I had landed him 
safely.

bass division. This photo proves that artificial bait gets the
