Story fist published in the Frontenac News: It’s a fish eat fish world!
Roberta Anderson and her husband Carl Conboy were out for a summer paddle in
their canoe on the east basin of Sharbot Lake when they saw something large and
white splashing in the water. It was a muskie with a yellow pike stuffed into
its mouth. They think perhaps the two were attacking the same fish and the
muskie accidentally got its mouth around the head of the pike. They paddled
over to two fishermen, Peter Lake and Butch Fanning, who had been having a poor
day of fishing, and offered them the catch. It took a net and a paddle to haul
the fish into the boat but Lake and Fanning got a pretty good feed for their
trouble.
