Howard SWEA CITY MAN, I 83, TELLS OF RECORD CATCH SWEA CITY When a man lands a weighing over 100 pounds, that's news. When, as in the case of Wm. F. Leland. of Swea City, he does so unassisted, within a few weeks of his 83rd birthday, that's a record.

Outdoor sports and Bill Leland are practically synonymous. "I've been fishing all my he admits, "long enough, I guess, so that I should be quitting." His son Stanley, of Story City, is well known to Iowa sportsmen, having been state boat inspector and at other times a game warden. The two recently enjoyed a week of fishing in the White River country in southeast Arkansas, where Bill Leland made his phenomenal catch. The fish was an alligator gar. The Lelands were still fishing by day in water 10' to 20 feet detp.

elder Mi-, inland was ufcing a flaw surface rod, witn star reel' and 900 feet of 80- pound test line. When the monster fish struck. Bill knew he had a battle ahead. Skill and patience would be needed. "Was I excited? Well, some." admits the usually imperturbable Mr.

Leland. "But a' person doesn't want to get too excited; easy, easy does it." The fish ran out over 600 feet of the extra-heavy line, and it took over an'hour to land him. Mr. Leland had plenty to do without consulting his watch just then, but later a near- by fisherman who landed another gar of comparable size required I an hour and thirteen minutes to bring thrashing, fighting I creature within range where he could shoot it with a belt gun. So it seems reasonable to conclude that the Leland fish gave battle for about the same amount i of time.

The bait used to catch Lei land's monster was a IVl-lb. fish I known as a sheepshead. but whose correct name, Mr. Leland asserts, is 'dram'. The monster gar has scales shaped like an arrowhead, and feeds pn smaller fish, much in the manner of the northern pike.

The only edible species of garfish, the alligator gar is found only in southern waters. Arkansas sportsmen and conservation- are glad to have them removed from their lakes and rivers, and welcome the fishermen who come to fish their waters. "They're wonderful people down there," i says Mr. Leland. Besides the White River, he and his son also fished the Arkansas River, using both boat and shore fishing in each stream.

In the White River country, a mecca for anglers, it is customary for fishermen to' employ a native guide float fishing. Not so with the Lelands. "We never employ a guide," says the Leland pardonable pride. "That's half the fun." Verv few fishermen are expert enough I to be able to emulate the Lelands in this particular, and still fewer would experience similar success. "We got several alligator gar," reports Mr.

Leland, "and Stanley pulled out one about as large as my big Pictures were taken of the catch, but have not yet been developed. Mr. Leland has a.few scales from his prize. The rest of the monster made tasty fish steaks. Fishing is not the only interest that this dignified, 6-foot gentleman of the old school.

Bill Last November, on his 82nd birthday, which occur- during the pheasant-shoot- ing season, Mr. Leland joined the hunters -and and uul- tfamped men a fraction of his age, bagging his limit of birds before npon. During the recent fishing trip, his wife remained with her daughter-in-law at Story City, preferring to leave fishing to the men. But she shares her husband's interest arttt enthusiasm, and is truly proud of his latest achievement. Mrs.

Leland is the former Mary Simon, of St. Joe. The Lelands have been married over 62 years. Mr. Mrs.

Charles Kesler attended, the 45th wedding anni- versary observance of her cou- sins, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Halvor- sen. "of Armstrong, which was at the home of the Hulvor- sen daughter. Mrs.
