Catch 857 Pound MaCkereI
Off Highlands Yesterday

Charles Wardell, Conrad Anderson,
West Osborne, Sea Bright's deep sea
fishermen, after a three hours battle
with a monster horse mackerel yes
terday afternoon while fishing three
miles off Highland beach, succeeded
in Bleaching the fish, which weighed
S57 pounds dressed, carried four a
pom stabs and t~wenty-seven gashes
from shark knives, which told the
story of the fight the fishermen had
to capture the fish. This is by far the
largest horse mackerel ever landed by
New Jersey fishermen, from Point
Pleasant to Sandy Hook, and gave the
hardest struggle ever witnessed by
deep sea fishermen in these parts.
The huge fish was shared in OS-
borne's net, when the three had tried
their luck in forming a pocket to cor
ner blue and week fish. Osborne
thought he had a shark and mention
ed to Anderson and Wardell, who
were laying close by, to work in their
nets to keep the big fellow from es-
Gaping, because the price paid for
sharks on the beach is high.
Calf hooks and shark knives were
brought into play quickly. but a sud
den leap of the sea monster revealed
that instead of a shark. the fish was
q. huge horse mackerel. The fish sue
ceeded breaking the heavy nets and as
he was about to escape Anderson
hurled his steel harpoon into it's side.
The fish went at once to the bottom
and rested a few minutes then dashed
Il sea for more than nine miles, War
dell and Osborne tried to hook on
and follow the fish with Anderson. but
the fish had damaged their boats so
that this was impossible.
After trailing behind the big fellow
for nine miles, Anderson noticed that
the line had taken on slack, then
playing the mackerel he worked
closer. Anderson then drove two har-
poems into the side of the mackerel,
and brought into play the shark
knives, gashing the big monster and
then finished him with another har-
pooh.
Unable to get the fish over the side
of the boat, the fishermen were COM
PEELED to tow him to the beach, where
he was landed with the aid of several
other boats that had taken on extra
gasoline to search for them. The
mackerel was prepared for shipment.
