Two fish yarns in a town lighted by legends
A quirky local column recounts two favorite fish stories. One tale hints a minnow dropped in liquor catching a bass and other fish by odd body parts, while a second tale follows a fish kept from water until it crawls onto land. The editor jokes these are Root yarns and notes a contest prize of two Majestic tickets. Nearby, readers drift into humorous digressions about fishing and daily life.
