Amberjack Fights a Century of Southern Sea Power
Hamilton M. Wright, noted sportsman, hails the amberjack as the hardest fighter of the southern seas in Elks Magazine. He recounts a one hour and a quarter struggle near Alligator Light in the Florida Keys, the fish nearly equal to a man in length with copper sheen. A giant Jew-fish then looms beneath the boat, threatening the amberjack as the line is severed at the keel and the struggle continues. The tale contrasts the amberjack with the moray eel, the Caribbean predator reaching five to six feet in length.
