DETROIT JUDGE
LANDS lOO-LB.
TARPON in HOUR
MOUNTED. IT GOES TO
COURTROOM; ALSO a s4-LB.
TARPON AND SEvEN-FOOT
SAILFISH LANDED

A dream of a long lifetime-to
catch a big saltwater fish and
have it mounted in his court
room-was partly fulfilled last
night when Judge E. ]. Jeffries
of Detroit, Mich, brought in a
100-pound tarpon, stretching six
feet four inches, last night on
veteran jake Keys Legion.
Besides this catch, one of the
judges guests, Philip Gabel,
brought in a seven-foot forty
three pound sailfiSh in the Gulf
Stream before the tarpon fishing
began. Along with the judges
catch, another guest, Arthur
Thorpe, brought in a 64-pounder
measuring five feet four inches.
Biggest fight of the day was
that given by the big silver.
Fighting it for an hour and five
minutes on 15-thread line, the
judge had the greatest piscatorial
pleasure of his life, and he's 81
years fishing old". When the
big fellow first hit he took out
nearly 300 yards of line with
just a few turns left on the
spool. Four times did the re-
dOubtable judge bring the tarpon
TO the stern of the Legion and
four times did the tarpon slam
off in a silver streak.
jake had told the judge all he
could about it:-"Watch when he
shoots out for his leap so he
doesn't throw the hook, not too
much drag, and etc.-and the
rest was left up to the judge.
Up and down the mile long
Man of War Harbor twice did ia
kle have to maneuver the Legion
before the big fish was boated.
When il was all over the Judge
Topped on a seat and shouted for
a beer, completely exhausted
from the thrilling fight but prob
ably the happiest he had ever
felt while fishing.
