A Monster sunfish.

did you ever hear of a sunflsh weigh
ing 300 pounds?" asked an enthusiastic
fisherman yesterday. well, I saw one
last week, and it's no fairy tale, either
OF course. 1t wasn't the kind we catch
in the inland streams; it was what is
known as a salt water sunfish-an ugly
shapeless creature with a hide like a
rhinoceros, and with big happers like
those of a turtle 1t was caught just off
Beach Haven, where was spending my
vacation. The fellow who landed IT, one
of the native fishermen, was out after
sea bass, and he was towed three miles
out to sea before he succeeded in getting
the gaff into the big fish and beating it
into insensibility with club. Then he
towed it ashore and exhibited his prize
charging an admission fee of 10 cents.
So far as I could ascertain, it was the
first fish of the kind that had ever been
caught in those waters, and few of the
natives had ever seen one before Two
or three said they had noticed them lying
on top Of the water, evidently asleep in
the sun, but had never been able to get
very close without disturbing the mon
sters. I understand that the salt water
sunfish, as a rule, frequent warmer
waters, and are sometimes captured off
