Fishing Contest
The Athens Sporting Geods’
fishing confest was judged a tie
this week with equal prizes go
ing to Dr. Sam Talmadge and
Jimmy Lumpkin for their
catches which they turned into
the local store.
Entries were heavy this week
which possibly points to the
truth in the predictions of many
that this week would be an ex
ceptionally good fishing period.
Dr. Talmadge made his prize
winning catch on a Russell lure
while fishing on a North Geor
gia lake. His winning fish was
a three and 4-pound Brown
Speckled German frout. Young
Jimmy Lumpkin’s winner was
an eight pound large - mouth
bass which he caught on a frog
color popping bug at the Ath
ens Country Club lake.
An additional entry in the
contest which was very good
was the joint entry of Winston
Westbrooks and Bobby Barrett
composed of eight bass which*
weighed a total of 21 pounds.
The bass were caught on live
minnows at Lake Chattooga in
north Georgia.
The entries were judged Sat
urday morning by five impartial
fishermen who made their de
cision in favor of Dr. Talmadge
and Jimmy Lumpkin. Both of
the winners will receive the full
amount of the prize ($2.50 in
trade is offered weekly.

standing between the umpires and
the church-goers, the time was
