"George, old boy, what's the fuss?"
"Fuss," said he; "why you have heard these mutts going around, spouting about fish not being smart and having out in the lake a few minutes ago I hooked the biggest trout that ever sported in this lake. I began to pull him in, keeping, as I thought, a pretty stiff line on him; soon I had him up to within about ten feet of the boat. Gee! but he was a Moose. One look at me and like a flash he plunged forward, twisted his body into a half circle, picked the hook out of his mouth with his tail and took what I supposed was a farewell dive. In a few seconds, and before I could get myself pulled together, up he came again, jumped some two feet in the air, then turned his head and looked at me with a look of triumph and disdainful scorn, flopped his tail at me as much as to say "ta ta," and gracefully plunged back into the water."
I've been wondering, said Mr. Pickett, if this is the same fish that he had that sweating pipe dream about?
