    fisherman 
    • "The following is a well-authenitcated statement of a "catch" which was doubtless a record breaker at the time when whitefish were plentiful in the lake. It occurred on an evening in July, 1857, when, as was the custom when a seine was to be hauled, men for miles around were gathered on the beach at Wellington. The owner of the seine, J. Rickerson Trumpour, had marshalled his men and the nets were in constant use until dawn, by which time forty thousand whitefish had been taken; the largest haul ever known to have been made at this particular place. W. H. Garrett, the grandson of Isaac, assisted on this memorable occasion, by taking out a boat and holding up the cork line of the seine, over which the net being full, the fish were escaping. His share was to be all the fish he wanted; and he filled his boat to the number of about seven hundred."
