Anglers who greatest exploit Is the
landing Of two pound trout, or six pound
bass, have little idea of the excitement Of
hooking Zig tarpCn. The first experience
WITH one of these big fishes is like that of
the hunter VINO has buck fever" when he
sights his first deer Men who have aneled
in all kinds If streams and have had many
thrilling experiences it'll all kinds of fish
lose their heads whel they hook their first
tsrpou Ii is not an uncommon occurrence
for a sportsman to travel a thousand miles
t. catch "a tarpOn and then when he gets
one to let go line and rod and he is satisfied
to get ashore in safety.
The tarpou is the king Of game fish. His
home Is in the Gulf If Mexico aud in the
Western Atlantic. lie OCCASIONALLY appears
as far north os the Jersey coast and is met
wit around the West Indies, but is most
frequently caught in the bays and harbors
of the Florida coast. In his prime the
tarpon is a six-footer. He weighs from 100
to $50 pounds He is remarkable for his
great beauty. When first landed his scales
shine as though plated with sIly.r He has
long b0ny projection at the dorsal fin,
which is o ten seen scooting along the tip
Of the water while the fish is out of sight
beneath. The tarpon is kno wn in Georgia
as the "Jew-fiSh' and in Texas as the Say
auilla." II other places it is called Silver
fish, and ''Silve,lkiagn Pne French speak
ing people Of the g'if' coast call it the
Grand ecnHLe, owing 10 the size Of the
scales. The great strength and wonderful
endurance of the tarpon make him one Of
most difficult fisd to capture. He makes
light Of any net or snare by leapilg over or
breaking through. 1t has long been known
that he would take bait, but few sportSmen
cared to risS their tackle. 1t Is only within
the last few years that It has been consld
cred within tine range of rod and line
and classed among the game fish of Ameri-
can waters. The Waole world does not
produce its equal. as late as 1883 the au-
thor of Fishes Of the z lst Florida Coast"
wrote, mo man is st.ong enough to hold
large tsrpon, udless ne is provided with
drag or buoy in the shape Of an empty key
attached to the line, w ic1 may retard and
even stop the fish after while" With the
all Of such drag he fish may be har-
pooned from a small boat This was the
method Of capture until rece lily. 1t was
like whaling on a small scale. Now the
progressive sportsman casts his line from a
stout rod, hooks the big victim, plays him
with rod and reel and finally conquers his
prize. Frequently the tables are turned,
however, and the brute force of the fish is
too much for the ingenuity Of the man.
Then the big fish plays with the weak crea-
ture at the other end Of the line, lows his
boat II olnd the bay with final dash,
breaks line or rod, or tears the hook out and
sails off to sea.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1889-02-10

Time and time again will the anxious
sportsman think that his fish is subdued,
and attempt to reel him in, but the recuper-
alive powers Of the game fish are such that
he will make repeated dashes for liberty
When finally conquered the big fish is
brought alongside the boat, and is either
lifted on board with gaf, or, If he is a
very big fellow, lie IS towed to the landing
place behind the boat. Sharks are a great
annoyance to fishermen, and as they take
the bait in nearly the same manner that a
tarpOn does, "A novice in the business often
finds bis tackle going off to sea in spite of
his frantic efforts to stop what he supposed
to be a tarpon If sucn an event ma pens
the disappointed sportsman finds consola-
ton after ward in telling us friends what a
big tsrpon he hooked. If the shark is n
small one he may be reeled IN close to the
boat and harpooned, but the safest plan
when ono Of these creatures is known to
have taken the bait is to cut the line and
let him go.
Pierre Lorilard, Jr., and Ed ward Prime
are fond of the sport, and are now in
Florida. Dr.. Grymes and William "
Wood, who made many large captures last
season, have left for the fishing grounds,
and during the spring many well known
anglers viii endeavor 10 add the capture OF
a tarpon to their numer us co quests.
