Big Game at Sea (Classic Reprint)
These stories are mainly the authors experiences with big game at sea in many waters. Fifty years ago graining the big ray or devil-fish was the sport of sports along the Carolinas, and it is being revived by men who like a dash of spice with their pastimes. The big ray is now taken nearly every season on the gulf coast ofF lorida, and at A ransas Pass, where an extraordinary contest took place in 1906: a ray swimming off with fourteen boats before it was killed. Yet the Giant Ray Club, suggested last year, to be composed of men who have taken the huge fish,. cproduced less than a dozen men who had accomplished the feat, though doubtless a more extended canvass would develop others. The various rod catches herein described illustrate the work accomplished by the Tuna and other clubs for a higher standard of sport, as on the Pacific slope. At Santa Catalina especially, game fishes up to one hundred Vpounds are now taken with what is known as a number nine-thread line; the tip of the rod not less than five feet long, and weighing not over six ounces, while the members of the Tuna Club have for years taken all their great record fishes on twenty-one-thread lines; 5the idea being to give all large fishes the advantage and reduce the catch to the limit of actual size.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
