Then the fight first there is great exultation at having abig fish on the end of the line, but after half anhour or so an uneasy feeling may arise that thefish has got a man at the other end of the line and that the question is wliich will diefirst. ,\t all hazards the line must be kepttight all the time; when the fish rushes theline is let out, and as soon as he stops he mustbe steadily and persistently hauled in. Whenthe fish is quite tired out he can be hauled upto the boat and a gaffing hook struck into itsside to lift him in. The fisherman will thenprobably be glad to take the oars while theother fellow fishes for a bit. 1\ ,.-- . A ^•^ ^ ^^ A Good Hau
