Salmon captured in Delaware river at Gloucester nets
A true sea salmon, Salmo salar, weighing twenty one pounds and eight feet seven inches long, was caught in Gloucester in Mr William J Thompson's net during a 4 o'clock haul. It struggled on surface before securing it. The fish was sent to United States Commissioner McDonald in Washington. This is the second salmon seen in the river since stocking began about ten years ago, the first being smaller last year. Col John Gay of the United States Fish Commission called the capture highly important for proving a salmon river in the Delaware and noted the initial stocking as an experimental effort with unfavorable conditions. He believes continued planting could yield good results.
