from 11s to 41a pounds, and a few yell
lowfin were taken which ran larger IN

party of four took twenty-nine surf on
Wednesday, the smallest of which
weighed more than a pound and the
larest pounds ounces. The twenty
nine fish weighed 61 pounds, which Is
the record catch for the season.

which ran above the 4-pound mark and
one was hooked which scaled traction
