Columbia Leader in “Field and Stream” Competition

The next issue of Field and Stream will carry the story of the prize trout catch for the month of July by J. M. Cantey of Columbia. Each month prizes are offered by the periodical for the largest fish of any particular variety taken with rod and reel and artificial bait. Competition is nationwide in score.

Mr. Cantey’s catch, a small mouthed bass, weighing eight pounds, was taken from White pond, near Blaney. This is an imported species of the trout family and rarely grows beyond eight or nine pounds. In recompense Mr. Canty has received $23 in cash, fishing paraphernalia approximating $25 value and a pair of hunting boots.
