get excited since I felt that I was suf- 
ficiently excited for both of us, trying 
to handle fish, landing net and boat at 
the same time. My fish was well played 
out and was netted without much 
trouble. We gradually worked the 
trout she was playing into deep water, 
as there were weeds and snag's of every 
description in and around the place 
we had been casting. I felt sure that 
it meant a loss if he got around them. 
With two or three beautiful leaps in 
the air, which I shall never forget, he 
decided to go down to the bottom and 
sulk. This must have been all of thirty 
or forty feet, as we thought he would 
never stop going down. 
I told my wife to put a little strain 
on the line while I tapped the rod 
lightly with the handle of my knife, 
which started him on a mad rampage. 
His runs became shorter, which showed 
that he was weakening and soon we 
had him headed toward the landing net. 
As he caught sight of the boat, he made 
a vicious rush but was soon retrieved 
and landed. Beautiful he was, and 
tipped the scale to five and three- 
quarter pounds, making my fish appear 
quite small. I received a few comments 
from my wife to the effect that I didn’t 
know how to catch big ones. My only 
alibi was that mine would be better 
eating. To this she only laughed and 
said “sour grapes!” But what can a 
fellow do when he knows that he is 
bested, I ask you? He must take his 
medicine and say nothing, mustn’t he? 
Hearing a war-whoop from’ Dick, 
which echoed across the water like a 
bell on a clear cold morning, we noticed
