New Jersey Courier 6 Oct 1910
Channel bass bit for 3 Asbury Park fishermen at Sea Side Park Sunday. Each got a dandy fish. Joe Clayton's weighted 37 pounds; Winfield Scott and Richard Anderson each got a 32 pounder. They fished a mile up the coast from Sea Side Park and got into such a mess of weak fish that they had considerable trouble keeping them off their lines long enough to get to the bass. They brought home 60 of the best of the weak fish taken. The three channel bass put up brave fights and it required from three quarter hours to one and one quarter hours to land them. The three fishermen went down Saturday night and returned Sunday night.
Location: Seaside Park, NJ, USA

Over the next three years, Biegenwald had several brushes with the law. In Nashville
