William Johns of Jones Beach State park, Long and he has had more adventures than you can shake a stick at. Island, Cap makes the club with a story of a fight he had with a giant barracuda. The barracuda, which is known as the tiger of the seas, is just about the toughest and most dangerous fish in American waters. Those babies make a full grown shark look like a gold fish when it comes to downright ferocity. Did you ever see a barracuda? They've got mouths .on them like teeth that can cut a mans alligators with a double row of needle-sharleg like a hot knife cuts butter. They dont come as big as sharks but are much more feared by fishermen who know. Why, by golly, when you hook a small barracuda youve got to kill him before you pull him in the boat or its Just too" bad. They can put up an awful fight even out of water and youd better be sure hes dead before you try removing the hook or youre apt to lose a finger or a hand, depending on the size of the fish. p - Ab ovo.

Gap has been a seal hunter in the Baltic; a lumberjack in Canada; a soldier of fortune in Mexico ; a sailor under many flags ; a boxer and wrestler ; a swimming instructor; life guard; a big game hunter and shark fisherman and a lot of other adventurous things but he says he never had a closer call than he had with that barracuda. seagull on the wing, Cap, by the way, is the fellow who caught-down in Florida a few years ago. That trick was an accident but its worth telling. Cap was fishing for sailfish and using live bait. He threw his line, baited with a small fish, into the air and the seagull swooped down and snatched the hook and bait before it touched the water. I call catching a bird good fishing. Dont you? Cap let the seagull go, of course, and Ill bet that gull flew away a wiser but sadder bird. a Sea Tiger Picks on Life Guard. The barracuda was something else again. Cap was acting as a lifeguard at the Roman Pools a swimming club in Miami when he decided to spear himself some breakfast. He waded into the water up to his neck and looked eCoPTIRE CONSTRUCTldiri k Cap Drove the Second Spear With All His Might. around for some nice luscious mullet. He didnt see any mullet that morning but he did see a big sand shark and drove his spear into its tough hide. Now cousin but the blood from a sand shark isnt dangerous like his the wounded sand shark attracted a passing sea bandit who was plenty dangerous. That sea bandit was a hungry barracuda and he came straight for Cap. Cap knew what he was up against at a glance. He was glad he had his feet on the bottom. Expert swimmer as he is, Cap knew he wouldnt have a chance in deep water against the tiger of the seas. He knew too that he couldnt run away without taking a chance on i losing a limb or two perhaps his life. The fish was nearly six feet long the largest Cap had ever seen and six foot of hungry barracuda is just about one hundred pounds of dynamite. Cap had two small spears with him and as he saw the flash of those terrible teeth he drove ond home. man-eatin- g Cap Just Missed Being a Fish Dinner. The spear broke off in the tough hide of the fish but didnt seem to phaze him. He leaped several feet out of the water and turning in the air opened that big alligator mouth of his and Cap says he thought it was the end. teeth snapped mouth lined with dagger-lik- e Zowie! That shut in Caps face with a sound like a steel trap. Cap says hed sooner hear Mauser shells singing around his head any day. He knew that on whatever part of his anatomy those teeth closed that part would come away. The streak of silver shot at him again and Cap grabbed his second spear and, stepping aside, drove it with all his force Into his enemys body. ,A thrust shark or cause him to give up the battle but like that would kill a not a barracuda.

He started yelling for assistance, hoping that someone would have the nerve to bring him out a ' he But, says, he wouldnt blame anyone for hesitating. The barracuda harpoon. enjoys such a bad reputation along the Florida coast that most of the natives stay far away from his dental array. And I dont blame them. But Cap Johns got a break. One of his life saving crew saved their captain. He saw Cap fighting for his life and grabbing a harpoon ran out in the water. The battle had been going on for over ten minutes when he got there. And he arrived just in time. Cap was just about exhausted and those snapping teeth were coming closer and closer. Cap figured he couldnt hold out until the lifeguard got to him and be yelled for the other man to throw him the harpoon. The lifeguard threw the sharp weapon. The harpoon flashed in the sun and Cap grabbed it like a juggler and In one quick movement drove knife point into the jaws that were wide open to grab him! And that was the end of Caps barracuda as well as the end of Caps adventure. And, if you dont think' it was a close call, just take a peep at a barracudas upper and lower plates the next time you get a chance. But dont get too close to him.
