SOME FISH AND SOME FISHING 

 1918 



THAT season was in some respects even 

 better than that of 1917. 



No swordfish (Xiphias gladius) were 

 taken and few were seen. 



One hundred and fifty-three spearfish 

 (TetraptUTus mitsukurii) were weighed in. 



Twelve weighed over 200 pounds each, 

 the largest 328 pounds and the smallest 66 

 pounds. 



Six hundred and thirty-nine tuna were 

 landed, 19 of which weighed over 100 

 pounds each, while the largest fish tipped 

 the scales at 149^ pounds. 



Nineteen dolphin were brought in one 

 day and the best day for yellowtail yielded 

 290 fish. 



All these fish were either consumed at 

 Avalon or sent to the market at San Pedro.
