Much good they had done him.

Caught a catfish on a dead one! Wonder if he would take the catfish to town and have its picture taken! Mighty fine fish, too, that channel cat! If it hadn't been for the Black Bass, they would have wondered and exclaimed over it, and carefully weighed it, and commented on the gamy fight it made.

Just the same he was glad, that he landed the Bass.

And he got it fairly.

If Jimmy's old catfish mixed up with his line, he could not help that.
