Jack Lemon of Protection recently had a suc-
cessful fishing trip to a pond "near the wagon
bridge" where he managed to catch a couple of nice
bass. He said they had forgotten to take their fish-
ing scales with them, so he didn't know how much
they weighed, but he said that holding them up for
the photo he could tell they were several pounds
each.
