A Real Fish Story
What A Catch! This huge jewfish, estimated at 300-400 pounds, was caught by Stephen D. Raimo, MCAA Member, and "Head Angler" for a group of New York Athletic Club members fishing off the Florida coast recently. The captain of the Island Lady, from which Mr. Raimo was fishing, said that it took the angler about 55 minutes to whip the fish on a No. 9-0 reel and a heavy trolling rod. This is a real fish story.
