One of the largest fish ever caught
in Casco Bay was caught by Captain
Bernard Johnson in his pound off the
Giant Stairway on July 18th. A stur-
geon over six feet long and weighing
two hundred and seventy-five pounds
was seen by Captain Johnson swim
ming around the pound. So he threw
a loop around it's tail and tied it to
the painter of the dory and then
towed i. to on sho pieiss Then l1 he pulled i
rs one of the most interesting sights
imaginable. The fish has four feelers
by which it locates it's food. Then it
swallows its food whole, which then
passes directly to the stomach, as
there is no connection between the
mouth and stomach. .-.... ..
