ST. PETERSBURG, April lis. G.
Ryder and w. J. Durham, winter Wis
itors and members of the St. Peters
burg Yacht club, captured a kingfish
several days ago without the use of
harpoon, line or net. They were on
the bay near here fishing for mackerel
when a huge king shot out of the water
ten feet away, went high in the air
and dropped in the boat. The fish
after It was dressed weighed 81
pounds. A fresh cut on it's tail indicat-
ed it had been nipped by a shark or
some other big fish and it Is believed
the leap was made in trying to escape
the attacker
The kings capture recalled to old
fishermen an incident some years ago
in which w. L. Straub new postmaster
here but at that time editor of the ST.
Petersburg Times, figured. Mr. Straub
in rowboat, was fishing for tarpon
and had hooked one which weighed
more than 100 pounds. The fish in one
of its leaps landed squarely in the boat
and upon Mr.. Straub and in its strug-
giles was beating the fishermen into
Inconsistencies when a companion
GATED and dragged it to another part
Of the boat.
