45-foot Shark Wins 7-Hr.
Battle With Fisherman
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. UH
The master of a party fishing ves
sel told today of "the big one that
got away" and fifty witnesses
backed up his story.
Capt. J. B. Mathews, skipper of
the Capt. Bae Strickland, and his
crew fought a losing seven-hour
battle with a 45-foot whale shark
In the Gulf of Mexico Sunday.
"It was the biggest thing we've
ever seen outside a plaster cast
of a whale in the New York
Museum of Natural History," said
Karl Dronke of Newark, N.J., who
was aboard with his wife and ion,
Karl, Jr.
Mathews and his crewman, Mil
ton (Sonny) Payne, had an idea
they's run into a specimen of the
world's biggest fish when the Capt.
Bae Strickland shoved off Sunday
for a day's fishing in the Gulf,
with more than 50 persons aboard.
Mathews had spotted a hugh
whale shark in the fishing grounds
SO miles off John' Pass a week
earlier. He hooked the whale shark
on a 370-pound test line then but
the line snapped like a thread.
Sunday, he was prepared with
"tackle" that included a foot-long
ahark hook, three-foot chain leader
and 500 feet of five-eighth manila
line. This was double spliced into
Eisenhower Back at
White Mouse Today
WASHINGTON W President
Eisenhower returned to the White
House Tuesday after a four day
holiday in Maryland's Catocin
Mountains.
The President, Mrs. Eisenhower
and a number of euests spent the
Fourth' of July weekend at Camp
David on a mountain top near
Thurmont, Md. They left their re
treat by auto at 8:50 a.m. KDT and
reached the White House at 10:50
EDT.
the anchor cable which was an
inch thick, with the capstan as a
"reel."
When the customers be Ban haul.
ing in cobia up to 25 pounds, Math
ews knew the whale shark was
nearby, for these are free-loading
fish which trail the ahark for tid
bits.
Tht Capt. Bae Strickland made
a dozen passes at the whale ahark
before Payne sank the book Into
toe big fish i lower jaw.
"The crew played it like any
other fish." Dronke laid. .'Math'
ews kept a tight line on him and
Payne nanaiea the capstan reel.
They'd throw the boat in reverse
now and then to take up alack,
then shut off the engine and let
the whale shark tow us. Some
aboard complained because the
captain wouldn't stop and let them
catch grouper.
The whale shark didn't seem
to bleed. At least it didn't attract
any other sharks.
The party fishing boat Atlanta
came alongside and took off those
who d had enough, but we stayed.
So did about 25 others."
The ship's log showed the whale
shark towed it 18 miles during the
seven hours the fight lasted. Then
it gave a lunge, snapped the line
and left. Mathews estimated it
would weigh 15,000 to 20,000
pounds.
