But the up-to-date sportsman cares to
catch but two of these, the tunas and
the yellowtail; and he only deigns to
land these with rod and reel, and out of
nothing but a small boat. So run the uno
written laws of sport.
A true fisherman would no sooner use
q handline, nor fish out of power launch
than a good wing shot would deign to
take~a pot shot into standing flock of
quail, or a good trout angler to bait his
hook with a worm.
Great are the catches of yellowtail
made these midsummer days. one man
often bringing home from fifteen to
twenty-five of these gamy fish, weigh
ing from ten to thirty pounds each.
What sweet music to the ear of the
enthusiastic fisherman is the sharp
alarm of the reel, as the fish makes his
strike and first run, often taking out
over 100 feet and more of line Then with
what feVeriSh haste is the handle of the
reel revolved and the line reeled in
again, as the wellhooked fish is gently
urged to swim toward the boat; and
now, when he sees the boat and fully
realizes the situation, there is a sudden
change or defensive tactics and down he
goes for the bottom. This is the critical

the boat, where the gaff hook is waiting
to land him. And now comes the second
critical time, for the gamy fellow has
