A charming little, fish story front Vermont: “A boy caught an immense pickerel which broke the line and disappeared. The boy fell into the water and sank to the bottom, whereupon his brother grabbed him by the hair and pulled him out, only to find the lost, pickerel firmly clasped in the boy’s arms.”
