’ POSSUM KINGDOM LAKE —
(Special): Fishermen from through,
out Texas today were dropping
their hooks into Possum Kingdom
Lake in hopes they will pull up
one of the 400 tagged fish which
now have a total of $40,000 in
prizes riding on their fins.
The fish were dropped into the
lake over the weekend, bearing
small metal tags in their mouths
which had been inserted by Leon-
ard Lamb, state biologist from
Fort Worth. The opening guns
were fired along the lake Tues-
day at 7 a. m.—and the hunt was
on.
Reservations were heavy at the
camps along the 200-mile lake
shoreline. Most camps reported
cabins were sold out for next
weekend and only early arrivals
would be able to rent boats and
motors, they indicated.
The fish were doing their part
by going on a good biting spree.
Several large hauls were reported.
Verne Johns of Johns Trading
Post at Meacham Field, Fort
Worth, landed a 5% pound bass
Sunday, and donated him to the
rodeo. He was released bearing a
tag and the name “Big John.”
And the prize list on Big John
was $25 richer with the addition
of a rod and reel by the trading
post owner.
