Big Fish Caught Off Fiji
p. 94 · Read in the full issue
THAT there are big fish in Fiji waters has never been doubted, though Fiji has done little to develop the sport as a tourist at traction. In March, two well-known American fishermen, Mr. Joseph D.
Peeler and Mr. Louis Nohl, sampled the sport to some purpose in Cap tain T. S. Withers’ launch, Turaga Levu. On the first day of fishing a comparatively rare silver Marlin, weighing 562 lbs, was landed, plus
a number of yellow-fin tuna.
It is believed that certain varieties of big game fish migrating north ward from New Zealand waters at the end of the southern summer pass through the Fiji Group in the autumn months.
