THE WORLD'S RECORD TUNA, WEIGHING 680 POUNDS, TAKEN WITH THE ROD AND 



LINE SHOWN IN THE PICTURE, AFTER MANY HOURS OF PLAY, 



BY J. K. L. ROSS AT ST. ANNS BAY, CAPE BRETON 



This giant tuna, locally known as the horse mackerel, ranges in weight from 500 to 1,200 

 pounds. Its capture affords most exciting experiences to those fond of the sport. On one 

 occasion Air. Ross played cne of these tuna 19 hours. After dragging him with his row-boat 

 some 20 miles down the coast, the fish broke the line and escaped. Photograph from Mr. Ross.
