Harpoon Adventure for Black Bass in Mexican Waters
A. D. Temple recounts a night voyage from Lerma mouth camp with a harpoon crew including Weely and El Negro. A large black basslike barracuda of about 40 to 69 pounds is harpooned after a tense chase through mangroves, then brought aboard and described as a southern US Mississippi river mouth fish. The piece notes the fish as a large mouth bass variety common on both Mexican coasts with migratory tendencies and saltwater and freshwater affinities.
