"A few days ago I returned from
a vacation in Florida, having visited
my husband. During the time I was
there we INDUCED in some very thrill
ing deep-sea fishing. I thought you
might be interested in my catch. A
catch of tarpon is not unusual, but
for a girl weighing lis pounds,
struggling for 80 minutes and land
ing a 105-pound tarpon, they said
it was some feat, using heavy equip
