Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1921-07-29


in the different classes of the Heaviest
Fish Contest, and thought it would be
well to give here the records Of last
year to show what this years nimrods
must live up to. Black drum, SO
pounds and 6 ounces, caught by David
Rittenhouse. None have been caught
SO far this year.. Founder, 50 ounces
caught by David Rittenhouse. The
record so far this year scales at 100
ounces, or 81 ounces over that of last
year, and was caught by ]. r. West
colt. The champ" weakish last year
was hooked by Mehahan, and weighed
6 pounds s ounces. Del C~ostello's
record weakish this year weighed 9
pounds and three ounces. Last years
biggest kingfish weighed 2S ounces and
was caught by Bailey. This years
weighed 26 ounces and was caught by
O,Hara. Valentine and Bailey were
tied in the matter of croakers last
year with two that weighed SO ounces.
Mayer holds the lead this season with
a croaker weighing A ounces. So the
only thing that this years members
have to do is to catch a slightly heav-
Ter kingish and they will have broken
all of last years records-and they
have the heart of the season to do it
in yet.
Walter Acuff, a member of the club,
caught a 26 pound red drum last week
from the Crest beach. 1t Is the first of
the species caught in the Crest this
year.

ers seem to have stopped running alto
gether.
