280 Big Game Fishes 



yellowtail anglers, are gulls and cormorants, and 

 one fisherman distinguished himself by hooking 

 a sea-eagle. Another played a young black- 

 fish, which must have weighed half a ton, a 

 second or two, while another angler's hook when 

 trolling caught in the back of a fifty-foot Cali- 

 fornia gray whale, illustrating the variety that 

 comes into the life of the rod fisherman in many 

 seas.
