Excerpt from The English Angler in Florida: With Some Descriptive Notes of the Game Animals and Birds
Tarpon fishing sport was for many years a kind of mystery to both American and English fishermen, but within the last decade it has become well known, and has even developed into something like a "boom." At least fifteen years since a gentleman who had caught several tarpon on rod and line, calling upon me in Piccadilly, showed me one of the scales he had brought home from Florida; and a striking object it was, from its immense size, its horny substance, and, most of all, from that partial covering of fine whitish silver which, at a casual glance, looks as if it could be dusted off with the light flick of a handkerchief. From that time forward I kept the tarpon in view as an honest object of desire, and all that I read about it, and the specimens which came under my notice as a taxidermist, confirmed my determination to kill one for myself some day.
