A 10-pound pike was landed by Reuben Williams Wednesday night on Center Lake. His companion, Bill Mollenhour, assisted in getting the pike into the boat. These Times “novice” fishermen are out far ahead of the “regular” anglers of the Times force this season in a contest. This pike does not count – the contest stipulates only bass. Results were: Williams, 25; Mollenhour, 9; Warner, 7; McGlynn, 6. Former printer, now retired, Bill Connell, is one of the best anglers in this part of the state.
