Another Big Fish from NH

Following publication of a photograph of a New Hebrides sail-fish in PIM in February, Mr. J. Jocteur, of Tanna, NH, sent us this photograph of a large fish which he and companions caught on a trolling line off the north coast of Tanna a few months ago. Mr. Jocteur gives the weight of the fish as 210 pounds, but he did not know whether it was a sail fish. The ichthyologist at the Sydney Museum says that it is a Black Marlin— in comparison with a sail-fish, which it otherwise resembles, it has a relatively small dorsal fin.
