Out Many black bass have been caught with a plastic worm but not many anglers have caught a black bass with a plastic worm already in its mouth. Never in our experience had we ever seen this the trip from whence we've just returned. It occurred on Lake Livingston when L. A. Wilke and I went out for a few action pictures during the recent tourney held solely for women anglers.

When Fishing Guide Phillip Rowe, who works out of Marina, learned that we were seeking action shots of fish in the process of being caught, he said he could catch all the blacks we wanted right away Said he knew where to find and furthermore he would have us there as soon as the present storm clouds blew over. A more confident angler never seen. In less than an hour we were on the water and within fifteen more minutes were at his favorite Well, as luck would have it, line broke on the very first cast. It just flat parted. Phil rigged up again with hook, line, sliding sinker and his favorite red plastic worm in short order.

He made twelve casts and brought up six black bass in the two-pound range. I may not have believed it had I merely heard seeing is believing. Kiddingly Wilke and 1 accused him of having the hole baited out; of planting a skindiver down there to hook the fish on the line; or staking out a nylon stringer full of fish, with one end of the line open. Phil laughingly said, get here all the time, day in and day out. my secret spot.

1 told anyone where it is and I intend to. When you fellows return you even be able to find it yourselves because of its location among the like mass of little thorny trees of which there are thousands around It really was a fantastic exhibition of fast fishing, no doubt about that. But that all that happened that cloudy afternoon. On seventh cast and catch, we shot action pictures of the bass jumping out of the water, diving deep, turning, tugging and twisting. Then we asked Phil to hold the bass up by its lower lip for a still shot.

It was then that our angler discovered a second worm in the mouth. This worm was identical in size and color to the was using 5" long and light red in color. On removing his hook and worm from the mouth Phil learned that not only was there a second worm inside the bass but also a hook and two split shots on about a foot of six pound nylon line. The line showed wear, the lead weights were as bright as if polished, the hook was without rust except for a tiny bit in the eye, and the worm looked like new. Someone had been using too light a line and too limber a rod for fishing in brush for black bass.

Undoubtedly this fish, after attacking the bait, had gone down some 15 feet into a mass of brush and either severed the line or entwined it so tightly in the underwater timber that the angler broke the freeing the fish. Phil picked up another rod and reel, added the newly acquired worm to the promptly caught another fish. Incidentally, all the bass that were caught were gently released to serve as a challenge to other fishermen. that for an outing and 15 minutes of fast fishing?

Chinese on the platform, seeing off relatives and friends, and some choking back tears, sink into the distance. In a country where few people show their emotions, it comes as a surprise to see Chinese weeping on stations platforms, and at air terminals.

There are potted plants and antimacassars, a discreet table lamp and the inevitable porcelain cup and little sachets of green tea Outside, the industrial suburbs and crowded yet almost traffic-free streets of the biggest city fall away, replaced by a landscape of open vegetable fields and rice paddies. Studded here and there are the unsightly concrete pillboxes with which the Nationalists vainly tried to stop the advance of the triumphant communist armies on Shanghai in 1949. The 24-hour trip, which costs $35 for the 950-mile journey, is made at the leisurely speed of 45 miles an hour.
