Cornpone having our picture taken. The hell of it is, that's not even the biggest bass I caught that day. I caught two others, both on a purple worm with white spots and a propeller in front that you used to be able to buy stapeled to a card at the 5 and 10 cent store. The other two weighed 28 lbs. even and 32 lbs. 3 ozs. but we did not get pictures of them because we ran out of film after taking the picture of the smaller bass first.</p>

<p>That most assuredly is not Mr. Perry's bass! I know because I am the small boy in the picture. I caught that bass in Cane Creek in Edwardsville, AL on a Jitter Bug and it weighed 19 lbs. 6 oz. I had thrown my cigarette away seconds before the picture was take so other young kids would not try to emulate me. The shorts I am wearing are an early prototype of Tarpon Wear,</p>
