Battle of the Muskies
| After a long day of fishing, the governors of three states are posing with ten muskies hanging from a birch log wired to two trees. Known as the "Battle of the Muskies," the event featured, from left, Governors Henry Horner of Illinois, Philip La Follette of Wisconsin, and Nelson G. Kraschel of Iowa. Kraschel won the day with a 40 inch, 18 pound fish; La Follette finished third. Kraschel and Horner are smoking cigars. There is an automobile in the foreground on the left. |
