Four Fish on Three Hooks.
It is a fish story, but it is vouched for. by several witnesses. Fishing off the wharf at New Plymouth a youth was using a herring line with hooks above the sinker and a trailing hook below. He hooked two sprats on the herring hooks and began to pull them in. Along came a gurnard and swallowed the It ait on the trailing hook. The lad, a little surprised, started to pull in the three fish. They were nearly all out of the water when a John Dory swallowed whole one of the sprats. It was unable to disgorge it in time, and the boy landed four fish on three hooks.
