Zack Waters, Pre-Med Student: By BARBARA WILLARD If Hemingway wants a sequel to his The Old Man and the Sea, he can find new blood for the old fish story right here on the Carolina campus. A Chi Psi named Zack Waters, from Salisbury, Md., was only 15 years old and weighed 103 lbs. wringing wet when he caught the largest channel bass on re cord, to break the old world's record by eight lbs. He and his father were five miles off Cape Charles, Va.t in many fishing trips. It was Aug. 5, 1949, and one of the worst storms - the Bay can rem ember was brewing. All the other boats in the 20 boat fleet had headed for shore, leaving the "Minnie W." Minnie lagged behind the others because . Zack had something on the one line he had left in the water. Zack's father, thinking it was another shark (several had hit that day), told his son to put pressure on the line or to cut it. "If I had known what it was," Zack said, "I'd have never put the pressure on it that I did. I'd have stayed through the storm and all. I landed him in eight minutes."

When the fish hit the boat, the anchor hit the deck and the men headed for shore. Even then the storm hit beifore they reached land. The shallow-draft beat cut across the sand bar, missed a buoy in the harbor by 50 feet and beat all the other boat to shore. Once home, Zack gutted the fish and took it down to the ice plant. Out of curiosity, he stop ped by his uncle's lumber plant to weigh the fish 75 lbs. Some bystanders remarked that they thought the world's record for channel bass was 75 and one half lbs. "I rushed back home to get the entrails to weigh them," Zack continued, "But before I got there, the chickens had eaten some of them. They were in a pan outsde. I took what was left and weghed them. They weighed eight lbs." When he wrote the Internation al Game Fish Assn. for the offic ial world's record, he found that it was 75 and one-half lbs. He had been fishing in "Deep Hole," a well-known fishing hole in the Bay.

WORK REWARDED There were two contests going on that year, sponsored by Field and Stream and Outdoorsman sports magazines. Field and Stream presented him a medal and an award savings bond. He got a Nash automobile, set of tires and $100 worth of fishing tackle from Outdoors man. The reel and line compan ies whose products he was using when he caught' the fish gave him hundreds of dollars' worth of fishing equipment.

He, like his son, is a hunter and fisher man. "It was nothing new," Zack said, "We've been fishing since I could walk.
