Cat Cay. The fact they arrived
exactly on time isn't notable, but
that a tuna weighing $50 pounds
was caught on 24-thread is worth
noting, for it is the first time in
the history of these game-flshing
islands so miles across the Stream
from Miami that this feat has been
accomplished.
1t has been done many times in
the shallow Nova Scotian waters,
| after the big fish have become loggy
from lush feeding in the herring
schools, but in Bahaman waters
the bluefins are lean; trimmed down
to real fighting weight and with
several hundred fathoms to sound
in 24-thread. isn't much with which
to pump big fish to the surface.
Albert Lyon. Cedarhurst, N j.,
was the angler, fishing with Capt.
Johnny CasS on his Dolphin. The
catch required 4 hours and 20
minutes with a l6-ounce Tycoon
tip. Lyon was practicing for the
Cat Cay tuna tournament, which
! gets under way on the 9th.
! This tournament has become the
classic of big-game fishing and this
year, for the first time, we have
Washington angler competing.
Rus Arundel is down now, getting
/ his hand in. He is teamed up with
Mike Lerner in the two and three
man teams. Their guides. Capt. Bill
Hatch, Capt. Tommy Clifford and
Capt. Tom Frazier, are hard to
beat. But ne is fishing against
the greatest big-game fishermen in
the country and it is any ones
game up until the finish.
Should Protect Fishes, Too.
Seventeen American republics,
! including the United States, have
signed the pact to protect nature
/ and preserve wild life in the West
ern Hemisphere through the es-
| tablishment of national parks and
refuge areas. 1t will keep intact
for all time scenic wonders. places
| Of historic and scientific interest
| and preserve wild life.
! Mammals will receive consider
able attention, but the real benef-
Charles will be migratory birds.
Both have economic value. but no.
where in the pact is there mention
Of migratory fishes.
Here in the. United States no two
/ of the States can agree upon laws
! for the protection of vanishing spe-
+ cies. There are a dozen or more
fishes as extinct as the dodo bird ;
others are on the way, but If we
can't protect them in our own
land it would be too much to ask
to have them protected in other
countries.
Song and insectivorous birds are
important in insect control, but the
various species of fishes supply
nearly sixth of the worlds food.
We wouldn't detract from the one,
for they deserve all the protection
we can give, but the other is a
necessity, and any pact for the
preservation of wild life in the
Western Hemisphere should include
our fishes. They are important,
and they migrate below the Equator
as well as many of our birds.
