Qp.nrere Booie
George Gunter, an ardent
fisherman and keeper at the
Evergreen Cemetery, had a
very exciting fishing trip.
Unlike most fishermen he
has a habit of going about his
fishing the hard way. Here
are the details. When he
reached the banks of his
favorite fishing hole down on
the High Rock Lake the day
was passing and there was
not too much time to waste.
George baited up a rig with
cut bait and casted it to a
likely spot. Laying the rod
down on the ground he
proceeded to get his other
rods unlimbered for action.
He heard a light scraping
noise and then a plop into
the brink. Looking up he saw
his rod in the water and
going out. Without hesita
tion George was off the bank
and into the lake, making a
streneous effort to oversake
the run-away rod and fish.
Catching the rod before it
was out too far he raised the
tip and begun a retrieve;
cranking like mad. Setting
the hook and discovering
that a big catfish was on the
other end he forgot that he
was still standing in the lake.

control he took the cover or
face of the reel off to make a
repair. The line was wound
tightly on the spool and
would not peel off.
I am wondering just what
his reaction would have been
had his unexpected plunge
put him in six feet of water.
As if the catfish incident was
not enough excitement
George baited his Zebco 33
with a minnow and made a
cast that hardly went out
over fifteen feet. The cast
stopped short; the line was
fouled inside the closed
faced reel. With his minnow
lying out there without any
With a tangled line and an
inoperative reel in his hand
the float begun to travel. A
fish had taken the minnow.
George feverishly untangled
the line and secured the
face. The finger picked up
the line and he cranked away
to get a tight line on the fish.
Thinking that a catfish or
bream might have been
hooked he set the hook
casually. That idea changed
when his rod bent and he
had to hold on. The fish
never surfaced but stayed
deep and swam figure
eights. Finally reeling the
fish near the bank he could
see that a largemouth bass
was on. When a fish comes
into sight and is discovered
to be a big bass, everything
changes; facied expressions
and the whole gauntlet of
emotions.
bass was poorly hooked and
flopped off the hook. With a
bit of scrampering and foot
work George placed himself
between the water’s edge
and the fish; hand sweeping
it back to safety.

George Gunter was still
wet and on cloud nine what
with all of the excitement of
landing two large fish
minutes apart. Such makes a
day of good fishing. The next
time out I hope George will
test his reel for casting and
check the water for depth
before he takes a plunge.
The next 3 pound bass may
not be so obliging as to allow
itself to be dragged up the
bank. To be sure of landing a
bass the fish should be
played out then lifted from
the water by the bottom lip.
Charlie Chester is back
this week and should get
some recognition for a three
bass catch and an 18 and
one-half pound turtle;
caught at the number 5 hole
on Salem Lake.
