Enos Wilson, an enthusiastic fisherman from Brockton, Massachusetts, who
is here on his spring vacation, is receiving the congratulations of his
friends.
While out fishing in a canoe lately Enos got a bite from a dogfish. The
dogfish bit the bottom out of the canoe and also carried away a portion
of Mr. Wilson’s trousers.
This so enraged the doughty fisherman that he threw away his rod and
line, and, jumping into the water, swam after the fish, overtaking it
and holding it under the water until it was drowned.
The dogfish weighed nineteen and a quarter pounds on its own scales. It
was a fresh-water dogfish and very vicious.—_Boston Post._
