THIS was a great tuna year. There were 

 911 tuna taken during the season, 42 of 

 which were over 100 pounds in weight. 



The heaviest fish weighed 152%. pounds. 

 Mr. James W. Jump broke the light tackle 

 record by landing a tuna weighing 145% 

 pounds. 



No swordfish (Xipias gladius) were taken 

 during the season. 



One hundred and fourteen marlin or 

 spearfish (Tetrapturis mitsukurii) were 

 brought to the scales, 16 of which weighed 

 over 200 pounds. The heaviest fish was 

 taken by Mr. A. W. Hooper and weighed 298 

 pounds. 



I was fortunate enough to land six spear- 

 fish in fifteen days that averaged 207% 

 pounds.
