Annual International Tuna Tournament Opens Today

53' GERRY MARTIN Canadian Freon Staff Writer WEDGEPORT. N. S. (C?)

Seven teams representing 11 coun- tries will get down to business to- day as the llth international tuna tournament opens on the waters off this tiny fishing village on the southern tip of Nova Scotia.

About 40 of the world's top anglers are here on teams repre- senting Mexico. the defending

c h a m p i o n 3. Argentina. Cuba, France. , United States. Venezuela and the British Empire. The Bri- tish Empire team has two mem- bars from Bermuda. one each from England and South Africa, and three from Canada.

The tuna have. found a natural home on famed Soldier's rip. 12 miles off this port and also at the mouth of the nearby Tusket river.

The prize at stake is the Sharp trophy. a shining silver bowl on a mahogany base.

TUNA MORE PLENTIFIIL

In I953 only four fish were caught during the three-day play that was delayed by n hurricane. Things look brighter this year. Even the fishermen. who usually pass over any questions as to how they will fare. were optimistic as they came in from final practice spins Tuesday.

This season 266 tuna have been caught. while only 129 were landed all last year.

Ten fish fell victim to the crack gpnrtsmen Tuesday. British Em- pire team member Don Henley of Toronto set the. pace with n whop- ping MR-pounder after ii battle that lasted an hour and 55 minutes.

it was Henlcylx biggest - ever catch and the second largest fish landed this season by tournament

type engines of up to 120 horse- power. They have an overall length of 40 feet with a 1212 foot beam. Built of native spruce with oak keels. they have high. iaktsh bows that allow thetm to slip easily through the roughest seas. They widen in the stern where there is I barber-style chair for the angler

Standard bait is herring or mack- erel. with bait lines extended out on either side of the boat. The fisherman trails two bi-iitcd hooks in front of the bail. He is allowed to fish either line. but not two at once.

HEAVY-DUTY LINE

The line is fIlH(.it' iiii of Sill finely- woven strands anti has a lift power of il7 pounds straight up, capable of landing the largest tuna without snapping.

The world record for blucfin is held by a former member of the B r i t l s h Commnmvcnlth team. Cmdr. Duncan Hitdgson of Mom- real. vrlin boalr-d .1 977-pttunder tiff North Sydney in 1950.

Cuba has the most wins tournament that started in 1937 She won in 1938. I947 and 1952 The British Empire-team won in 1937 and again in 1951. Mexico won in 1953 and Chile in 1950. The tournament was cancelled at the outbreak of the Second World War and resumed in 1947.
