...spells of the season and fell behind, 35 to 13. But with Bob Inman and Merle McClung leading the way, the Crimson shaved the margin to eight points at the half, and sustained the torrid pace to take a 55-51 lead.

A little six-pounder can snap an 8-lb.-test line, and a big one takes all the luck an angler can muster. Recalls Golfer Sam Snead, who set a class record that still stands by catching a 15-pounder in 1953: "I was using live shrimp. I overcast, and had to feed the line back to get it to him.
