MAS CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (NAVNEWS) - Ar
unofficial world record was established
Sunday, June 25, 1961, when Roy L. NICHQ’
Aviation Structural Mechanic 2nd Class IJ;
caught a 17 foot 5 inch sawfish.The cate:
was made while Nichols was surf fishing
on Padre Island, 4r' miles south or Cor pur
Christ!. Hichol is stationed at NA;
Corpus Christi.
It took two and one half hours to get
the giant fish ashore. A 38 caliber
pistol was used to kill the fish after
it was beached.
The catch was classified unofficial
by' the National Fish and Game Associat- d
ion because a line was used to pull it ^
further onto the shore. The world recorc
for ti':is type of fish is 754 pounds and
16 feet 9 inches long.
Nichols used a 14/0 Penn reel with a
130 pound test Dacron line and a 26 foot
600 pound test leader. Shark was used
as bait.
Paul Miller, Aviation Structural Mech
anic 3rd Class, landed an 11 foot shark
while fishing with Nichols.
Nichols, who is attached to the Air -
craft Maintenance Department at the Nava.’
Air station is from Amarillo, Texas.
This bit of fishing information from
Texas should interest Ernie BORNHEIMER,
PN1 who is an avid Adak fisherman who
has caught his share of the big ones
ojn Adak during his tour.
