Answer To Publicity Man's Dream FIRST BLUE MARLIN LANDED M jr 1 N j A ' : 1 I "I'KSQC j-"! . " lw,imm I WHEN THE FIRST Blue MarlLi ever taken with rod and rie rorth of Florida vai larded off Hatteras on July 8 by Hugo Rutherfurd, of AHmouthy, N. J., it was net only the most outstanding catch evar made off our coast, but la terally the answer to a publicity man's prayer. It was the kind of story that publicity men everywhere are hoping will break in their territory. This fish measured 12 feet, one inch in length, was 54 inches around the girth, had a tail spread of 47 inches and weighed 439 pounds. The exact location of the catch made from aboard Rutherfurd's cruiser ' Make II" was 16 miles east of Hatteras and four miles southwest of Diamond Lightship. It was brought to gaff 40 minutes after the strike and made five leaps out of the water in efforts to shake the hook from its mouth. Previously off Oregon Inlet, John Midget, of Manteo, caught a 7-foot rr.arlin which was unofficially identified as a "White" or "Black" but not a blue marlin. White mar lin, a much smaller fish, have been taken in large numbers off Ocean City, N. J., this year. Christopher Jones, local angler, recently landed one there which weighed about 75 pounds.

Hundreds of dol phin, "the fastest fish that swims" and by far the most colorful, were taken by anglers. And right here with all these reports of huge catches of dolphin being made, I would like to urge guides to take along a good supply of ice when going to the Stream so that the fish can be saved to eat. Don't let anyone tell you that dolphin are not suitable for eating. Just try the filet of one sometime broiled to a golden brown and you will have seafood that is more than "simply delicious". And if you happen to get in a school of fe male dolphin, save the roe. Dol phin roe properly prepared equals any caviar you have ever eaten or have you ever eaten caviar? BIGGEST CATCHES of dol phin over the week-end were re ported by Capt. Adrian Willis' par ty including Dr. Hunter McGuire, Dr. Douglas G.
