The Chinook of Monterey 393 
its cousin, that you have cast flies for in some 
Eastern pool, but a deeper sulker, a down-plunger, 
as there is water in which to plunge, calling to 
mind the yellowtail, and illustrating the point that 
almost any fish when hooked will “sound” if the 
water is deep; and I venture the statement that 
if tarpon were not taken in shallow water they 
would not leap so well or so continuously. They 
leap partly because they cannot go down to any 
great depth; and if the tuna could be taken in 
water twenty feet deep I am confident that it 
would dash into the air and take its place with 
the ten-pounder, tarpon, leaping shark, black 
bass, kingfish, and others which leap at the 
strike. Mr. H. Gray Griswold endeavored to test 
this with the tuna by towing one into shallow 
water, but doubtless the fish by this time was too 
fatigued to leap. 
Our sulking salmon is raised by pumping and 
other means, and when it nears the surface bears 
off, running and making a gallant fight. But 
possibly a soufgon of disappointment enters the 
soul of the angler at the few leaps of the salmon, 
but wait. As the noble fish comes up and the 
gaffer fingers his weapon, the salmon springs into 
activity, the reel screams ze-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e, a long
