the most fought-over areas ir

goes on at the Federal, State

lands are lost annually to agri-

From the Outer Banks of

that school tuna, ranging from

weighing from 6 to IL pounds
have been caught in the last
week.
Boats out Of Oregon Inlet
found the tuna about Is miles

Just off the Hatteras Inlet bar.

A few more details have
been received about the 80
pound, world-record blue mar
lin that Gary Stukes of Morris
town N. j., caught last week
off Cape HatteraS.
First of all, Stukes was US
ing an unconventional bait, a
so-called Hawaiian plug, given
to him by a friend with q
suggestion that he try it on
big fish.
Secondly, it was the first blue
marlin Stukes ever had taken,
although he has been fishing
off Hatteras for several years
His only other trophy was a
white marlin boated off Ore
gon Inlet about five years ago.
The big marlin, IA feet long
and with a girth of 68 inches,
was boated in IS minutes on
l30-pound test line from AL
batross II, captained by Bill
Foster, about S miles south of
Diamond Shoals Lightship.
Meantime, the International
Game Fish Association, whose
headquarters are now in Miami,
is studying reports Of the catch
before approving the record.
Currently. a 780-pound blue
marlin, taken off Puerto Rico,
tops the list.
They say that spinning is
gradually making bait casting
and fly rods obsolete but with
fishermen of skill it has not.
