JIM BRILL REALLY
BROUGHT 'EM IN
Just to show what a real fish-
erman can do when he is let
loose, Jim Brill, Drumright'#
premier devotee of the rod ajvd
"minnie" returned from Stout's
lake Saturday night where, with
the aid of two lesser lights, ho
was victorious over 23 splendid
examples of the finny problem.
Jim's catch included one beauti-
ful bass, that succumbed to the
lure of a little red fly. He had
eight perch and some weighty
cat The latter he lured to their
dea*h with bird bait, he being
without the ordinary and approv-
ed means to tempt.
There are thousands of real
fish in the lake, according to
Brill; whose honesty of statement
prohibited his repeating fish
stories told by persons in the vi-
cinity of the body of water in
question.
