Strong, Jack. - On Tuesday morning J. W. Colson and Jack Strong had quite an interesting time in catching an immense silver fish, known on the Louisiana coast as the Grande Ecaile and in Florida as the Tarpon. The fish weighed over 100 pounds and was nearly 9 feet in length. While the fish is not fit to eat, the scales are highly prized for their immense size and beautiful color of blended silver and gold. This fish is seen and caught often on this coast, but for its swiftness and big destructive powers to seines and nets it is very much dreaded by fishermen. To catch one is indeed a rare sport, but at times dangerous. The editor has been presented with one of the pretty scales and invites everybody to call around and see it. It measures three inches abroad. (SCE 09/23/1893)
