Huge Shark
Escapes
Fisherman
ST. PETERSBURG. Ha. -
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 son,
Karl Jr..
Mathews and his crewman, Mil
ton (Sonny) Payne, had an idea
they'd 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
50 miles off John's Pass week
earlier. He hooked the whale shark
on a 370-pound test line then but
the line snapped like a thread.
Sunday, be was prepared with
"tackle" that Included a foot-long
shark hook, three-foot chain leader
and 500 feet of five-eighth manila
line. This was double spliced into
the anchor cable which was an
inch thick, with the capstan as a
reel." . .
When the customers began haul
ing In cobia up to 25 pounds, Math
ews knew the whale shark was
nearby, for these are free-loading
nsn wnicn irau the shark lor tid
bits. , i
The Capt. Bae Strickland made I
a dozen passes at the whale shark
before Payne sank the hook Into ;
tfte big fish's lower jaw.
"The crew played It like any
other fish," Dronke Said. "Math
ews kept a tight line on him and
Payne handled the capstan reel.
They'd throw the boat in reverse
now and then to take up slack,
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. i
"The whale shark didn't seem j
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
H gave a lunge, snapped the line
and left. Mathews estimated It
would weigh 15,000 to 20,000
pounds.

alarm by a passer-by that smoke,

by the guards, however.
A Russian, who described him
self as the "officer on duty," said
the delegation personnel was "only

no reason for firemen to have
come.
A fire official surmised that pa
