the Thoreau Log.
29 December 1858. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—Skate to Israel Rice’s . . .

  Heavy Haynes was fishing a quarter of a mile this side of Hubbard’s Bridge. He had caught a pickerel, which the man who weighed it told me (he was apparently a brother of William Wheeler’s, and I saw the fish at the house where it was) weighed four pounds and three ounces . . .

(Journal, 11:380-383)
