Historical Reflections








According to the information provided in the April 15, 1965 News-Herald, this photo shows proof of three things: that the big ones don’t always get away; that there are some big ones left in the inland lakes; and that Tumsey Johnson, who caught this 20-pounder, is an expert fisherman. His main problem was to squeeze the fish through the 6-inch hole in the ice. Here Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are proudly showing their prize catch.
