In a loumameni as brge as this one there is usually a poignant story about losing a large fish, or being ia the wrong place at the right time and Satur* day waa no exception. Captain Tom Thome had a targe fuh take his bait at 4 p.m. which he fought for two hours. His crew decided that this giaot Mako was still too active to bring into the boat and so in order to get back in lime lo qualify, they lied the shark by the tail and towed it backwards. This is the usoal method of drowning a fish. Unfominately. they arrived back at the Marina at 8 p.m. The Mako weighed 480 lbs and they would have easily taken fust prize. Allison Ferrien and Patricia Turner of the National Marine Fisheries Divi* sion of the U.S. Depanmeni of Com merce were on band to forward all information on the fish caught, ugged aad released, to the Department of Commerce, a vital step in fish conser vation.
