We are led to believe that in
thing as thinking, that ail
actions are the effects of
instinct. I do not intend to
expound on the why of the
following experiences, but to
just relate what happened and
with witnesses yet. These
happenings are probably no
stranger than some experiences
of other fishermen;
. unlike the ones that cot awav.
The incidents that I am
relating happened at two
different lakes and they are
miles apart with no connections.
The first experience with a
bass that seemed to possess
some intelligence was on the
old Winston Lake. I rigged a
minnow .at a depth of
twemy-iour incnes ana towered
it to the surface of the
water and allowed it to
struggle and disturb the water
before dunking it to the rigged
length. 1 lowered the minnow
out of sight, the float followed
going down and out; I had a
bass on. My line went out
slowly, so slow that I thought
maybe I had hung a turtle.

the bass could swallow it:

1 set my hook,
attempted to that is. The bass
had let go of the minnow and it
was crushed to death. 1
figured that I was a bit hasty
in setting the hook. 1 put on
another minnow and tried the
spot again. The water boiled
and down and out went the
float this time much faster. I
was more patient, this time
the bass was allowed to make
that last run a little loneer.
When 1 could wait no longer I
reared back to set the hook.
Again the bass let go. How
this bass could mangle a
minnow, hold it in it's mouth
and still manage to escape
being hooked was really a
wonder. I actually went
through this procedure with a
half-dozen minnows.
Coy Traynham came on the
lake for our fishing engagement.
1 did not tell him of the
experience that I had just
encountered so I advised him
that he could possibly get

minnows to that bass then
gave up. -
We discussed the situation,
fishermen; ~we thought. The
question was, how could the
bass mouth a minnow to the
point of crushing it to death
and letting go without being
hooked. The most peculiar
. ? ? - * - "
tmng about the whole deal
was that the bass would return
to the same spot and continue
to pick up minnows one. after
the" "other" "and" perform the
same stunt.
On the Salem Lake another
fisherman; Hutchins, a watch- ^
maker and 1, was skunked out
on a smart bass. I had
previous experience with this
bass so to give a friend quick
action I would first take him to
try his patience with a known
bass that was hard to hang.
Without informing him of the
smartness of this fish I cast a
plastic worm to it. It as always
picked up the worm immediately,
traveled up the

tug on the line and the bass
would seem to answer by
tugging back. This tugging
back and forth would keep up
until I thought that the worm
was mouthed enough, then I
would set the hook. Each time
the plastic worm would come
flying back. I finally turned
the bass over to Hutchins and.
he cast an artificial crawfish to
it.
The bass picked up the lure 3
and went through the same
routine of traveling and
stopping. Hutchins gave a tug
to find out whether it was still
on the other end, it was there
and it gave a tug in response.

down to the filter, trying to
give the fish plenty of time to
get the plug well inside it's
mouth. Another tug and
another response. That bass
had been fooling around at
least four minutes as though
this was some kind of game.
Well Hutchins could wait no
longer so wham-o, he set the
hook, the bass released the
plug and it came back without
any hesitation. The bass could
not be outwitted.
-Mriedto get E.H. Petree, a
great bass fisherman on Salem
Lake to make a try at that fish,
but he said, "Oh no Ihave had
my fill of that bass, it's just a
waste ot time." He was
probably right, but I enjoyed
the challenge. Each year I ?
hunt the area hoping that bass
will make a mistake. Well you
do not have to catch fish to
enjoy fishing, I keep telling
myself.
