"THE MOST WONDERFUL FISH"
Heralding the sea-fishing season for big game fish, the Bay of Plenty people are making theirprospects known through the Press Association. School fish, it is telegraphed, are in enormous quantities between Motiti and Mayor Islands, from which lies the implication that where there are shoals of small fish there will be shoals of larger to pursue and feed upon them, and great fighting fish below to pursue the pursuers—perhaps eve» the great Broadbill swordfiah, and the Marlin (black, or striped) spearfish, for which Mr. Zane Grey (as shown in other parts of this issue) has so admirably advertised the Bay of Islands and neighbouring waters. The Bay of Plenty telegram does not report swordfish or spearfish, but it tells of mako, and a reference to the reviews of Mr. Zane Grey's new book will show that he has formed a high opinion of the fighting qualities of the mature mako, regarding the 1200lb fish that broke away from Captain Mitchell, after a fight as being "the most wonderful fish either of us ever saw on a line."
