Catching Tarpon with Rod and Reel.

from me NelO 1 Ofk S171.
VIM. II. Wood of this city has lust returned
from Florida. He says that he has spent
several seasons there for the sole purpose of
catching tarpon with rod and reel, as such
an event has never been recorded. This sea-
son he-has been successful, and has brought
back to this city monster tarpon caught in
Tarpon Bay, about three miles south Of
Punta Rassa, Fla. The fish Is five feet, nine
inches in length, and when caught weighed
SO pounds, At the time of the capture Mr.
Wood was fishing from small boat. He had
a twenty one thread reel with line l,200 feet
long, and large size slue hook with brass
safety chain two feet long. He used mullet
for bait.
When the tarpon was hooked it was with a
sudden JERK that the reel commenced running
out with great rapidity. When seventy five
feet hsd been told out the immense fish
jumped six feet above water. and, plunging
deep under the surface, dragged the boat
rapidly along. The race was continued for
halfa mile, when the fish became exhausted
and was gated and towed ashore.

depot. The occasion was one of general icS.
tivity. The king, his chamberlain the com.

court justices and many citizens OF both sexes

presented fine appearance. OF the men, 1t
was remarked by a gentleman present, one
formerly for many years resident in Japan,
tha, he had never seen in japan so fine looking

They are said to be taller and more robust
than the class Of rice planters seen near Yoko

to the purposes of the contest. About 40 con.
