Charlie caught! two tarpon, a 310-pound shark and a 350-pound jewfish off Gulf Dock, just a few days too early to enter them inthe 1947 Key West Fishing Tournament. Rither cateh-would“have been a good bet to get in ‘the prize! money and if any award were }given for land fishing, Charlie | nesday. would have been a cinch to win it. | Charlie was somewhat surpris- ; ed to get the shark a week or so ago. ,He had had a couple of} strikes for several nights in a row. but thought they were made by a jewfish. On. this particular night, however, it was no jew fish but a 10-foot, 9-inch shark! that took in the whole bonita: which Charlie used for bait. With the help of four stalwart! young men, Robert Russell, Tom! Demeritt, Perey Curry Jr. and one other lad, Charlie hauled the big fellow up to the foot of the dock!

Except for his weight the jewfish is simple to land compared with the tarpon, Charlie said.
