Excerpt from The Big Game Fishes, of the United States Every sea-angler has his peculiar methods, his rods, knots, lines, and hooks, and I may be par doned for giving my own experiences among the great game fishes referred to in this volume, all of which I have taken many times in years spent, winter and summer, on the Florida Reef, among the Californian islands, and along the seaboard of nearly every state where fishes can be caught. These personal experiences are supplemented by the prevailing methods of the various localities so far as known.
