FIRST BLUE MARLIN OFF
OREGON INLET BOATED
Richmond Anglers Fishing with Capt,
Billy Baum Wednesday Have One
OF Years Most Exciting
Battles

Anglers aboard Capt. Billy
Baum's Oregon Inlet-based Gulf
Stream cruiser, KAY of Wan
cheese" landed the first white mar
lin of the season earlier this year.
Then Wednesday on the Kay"
five Richmond anglers and their
guide and skipper, Capt. Baum,
each had a hand in an exciting
battle with 362-pound blue mar
lin. After fighting the big 101s-
foot fish for two and one-half
hours under most unusual circum-
stances, which involved a broken
rod and the transfer Of a go Penn
Reel loaded with 80-pound test
Dacron line to another rod, the
blue marlin was boated.
It was the first blue marlin to
be landed this season off Oregon
Inlet, where several have been
hooked, raised to bait and lost.
Upon their arrival at Oregon
Inlet Fishing Center Wednesday
night, they told the story of their
unusual catch. Because part of the
tip of the broken rod went over
board, finally slipping right up to
the bill of the marlin, it was nee
essary in transferring the line
from the remainder of the rod still
in the hands of an angler, to cut
same and, during few seconds
of slack, tie it as the replacement
rod was being placed in use.
Richmonders sharing in the
catch were Maurice Patrick, M. M.
Elmore, G. C. Canada, R. E. Can
ada, and John Gam. Capt. Baum's
mate, Murray Cudsworth, was at
the wheel of the boat during most
of the maneuvers. The marlin had
girth measurements of 81 inches.
Three other marlin were raised
off Oregon Inlet the same day,
Capt. Baum stated. Two of the
big blues were raised to bait by
anglers aboard Capt. Sam Tillett's
cruiser, and a third one had hit
Fthe bait of Baum's "Kay" about
r45 minutes before the S62-pounder
was hooked and subsequently
landed.
