' > nvifcf ? ?? V Ttma Is a Smart Fish By FBANJC JKCK AP Newsfcatures Sports Editor MONTAUK. N y. ? Sighted fine giant iuna no pushers. Test lured: Two tuna. Hooked: Nothing Tuna fishing appears to be a waste of time when you come back empty and try to explain that poing after the quarter-ton blue-fins is fun and sport combined Ru>s MacGrotty of Manhasset. one of the east's top tuna experts, couldn't make it but his sleek 37-foot Tumult was available, fine couldn't ask for more than that since it usually costs $10(1 to charter a boat for tuna fishing. Roland F. (Mickey > McCann. who is around game fishermen all year either a Montauk or Uirnini put mv two-car and no-boat family up for the night at the Montauk Yacht Club After breakfast, Vi. our daugh ter \drienne. 16 and Russ Mac flrotly. Jr.. 16 set out aboard the Tumult with Cant. Rill Staros of K < court and Palm Beach, his brother George and Mate Fred Solan.a of Fort Lauderdale We had some two dozen sand v ich< s. cold drinks and 200 pounds of moss bunker or men haden. better known as awful smelling chum which costs $7 per hu dred. A- ?oun as we reached Ne braska Shoal about a mile off Rhode Island. Mate Solana began cutting up the chum and tossing It overboard. For two hours noth ing happened. Then the captain's brother sighted a tuna estimated at 400 pounds beside the boat: Young Pu s jumped into the barber's < hair and as the captain swung the (hair with $1,000 pole and reel attached he helped Huns into a safety belt That completed, the captain anchored the pole to the tuna chair. Russ had caught 20 - pound school tuna, his dad had taken two dozen giant tuna since lfiSO and liis mother.

She's shown above with a 646-pounder she caught ofT Montauk 1'oint. Ing. He practically looked us in the eye A tuna is a smart fish, ?is. ("apt. Staros soon proved. Staros really wanted this fish, j for it might have meant a good day's pay. Any tuna caught from the MacGrotty sport fisherman goes to the captain and at 18 cents a pound from the processor the take could add up to $100. a sum the captain divides with his mate. Staros then tried to cheat the tuna In'o tilting on the 24-thread linen line. He got a spool of nine tail of a moss bunker to the end l and had the mate drop it over'the side. It went down about 10 feet. Then earne a sudden pull. It was the wary tuna The mate jerked the line on purpose and the tuna -wain off with the hail. Now he might he mad, and bite at the hooked 'halt, we all thought. But j lie tuna wa- too smart for that. ; We waited 1 5 minutes No tuna, j We even started looking around for i "pusher," tunas that push ilong the surface in search for! 'Hod.
