He is a game fighter, but we sometimes think that he is a bit overated. Bass and trout are much smaller fish but they are capable of a lot of action and we've often wondered what would have happened if the four pound bass we had just caught had weighed twenty pounds. Such a bass would be in the musky class and how the fight he would make would compare with that of a musky of equal size no one can say. . The musky has done a lot to £arn his well established reputation as a fighter. Sometimes you hook and land one easily, but usually you earn your fish, and this is a story of a musky that was earned. ; The day was cold, and raw, and dreary. Eleven-year-old Bob and the writer decided to have one more day's fishing before we closed the season.

Ah, that was yesterday! 1 Copyright.--WNU Sarvlc*. er at Oxbo, Wis., started the Johnson motor and headed down the Flambeau river. Mrs. Hoag and Jack were to meet us at Ladysmith with the car! and we Chugged right along for quite I a few miles before we stopped to fish. I Bob was using a Gephardt solid; stee l r o d , a S h a k e s p e a r e I d e a l r e e l j and a Heddon Vamp-spook plug. The j writer had a tubular steel "Gep" (rod. a Pflueger Supreme reel and a Hed-; don King spoon. We shut off the motor when we came to a likely looking piece of water and drifted along casting to the edge of the weed beds. Bob got two nice bass and we went fishless. The current of the river changed and we rowed while Bob cast. He got another good fish and then we changed places in the boat. Bob wanted me to try the Vamp-spook plug so we picked up his rod and started casting. Then it hapened! A musky hit that plug and in the excitement that followed we forgot everything but that ftsh. There was no excuse for an old bird like the writer forgetting about the rapids, but we did. They say "There's no fool like an old fool" and we were certainly a big one. The first thing we knew Bob gasped "Oh Dad!" and then it was too late. Bob tried to push the boat away from a big boulder with an oar and lost the oar. There we were going like blue blazes with only one oar. The motor was tipped up on the stern of the boat and the water was just dancing right up and down. We passed Bob the rod and tried to guide the boat with an oar over the stern. Some times we did and some times we didn't. Sometimes the boat! turned round and round. It bumped off rocks and missed snags by inches. That kayak sure, could take it! Bob clung to the rod and played the' m u s k y , o r m a y b e t h e m u s k y w a s p l a y - i ing him. We have never been quite sure which way it was. At one time the musky was in one chartnel when we were in the other. Sometimes the fish was under the boat and some times we did not know where it was.! We shipped quite a lot of water and wondered just how long we'd stay1 afloat. We could both swim but who wanted to try it in that fast water. Suddenly there was a heave and a splash and we struck the pool below the rapids, We paddled the water logged boat toward a sand bar and jumped out dragging the half filled boat after us. Bob tried to stand up and fell overboard. We grabbed him by a leg and hauled him ashore where he sputtered and said things like only Bob can. Itl was then we discovered that he still' had hold of the rod. Good Lord! We'd j forgotten that we ever had a fish! WJe took the rod, reeled in the line I and Mr. Musky came along with it. He weighed twe ty-three pounds. j We splashed : shore and* built a fire in a little hollow under the bank. Hung up a blanket to serve as a wind -- Call for Appointment --.
