Notes InfoField | English: Another photograph showing the same event gives the following informations: Weight: 125 lbs, Time 1 hr. 28 min, caught by Edward Llewellyn from Chicago, at Catalina Isl., Harry Willey boatman, Ironmonger photo[graph]. [1] Press/other sources: Edward Llewellyn and Charles Streeter, members of the Catalina Marine band, which for three months each year gives daily concerts on the island, have to their credit a record which no fisherman has ever been known to express a desire to surpass. These men while fishing for yellowtail hooked a swordfish that fought them for half a day and the boatman had the time of his life to keep the boat from capsizing. (How Amateur Anglers at Catalina Island Break World's Records, Los Angeles Herald, Numer 306, 31 July 1904). Various records of the Tuna Club show that the first marlin swordfish, Tetrapturus, caught by a club member on rod and reel, was taken on 28 August 1903 by Edward Llewellyn (Tuna Club Yearbook, 1963:63), but according to Capt. Harry Willey of Hollywood, California, he [Harry Willey] was the first to catch a striped marlin on 25 August 1903. Capt. Willey claims that the Tuna Club at Avalon refused to weigh the fish and record it on the grounds he was a professional boatman (...), and not an amateur. (John K. Howard, Shoji Ueyanagi: Distribution and Relative Abundance of Billfish (Istiophoridae) of the Pacific Ocean, University of Miami Scholarly Repository, Studies in Tropical Oceanography, University of Miami Press, 1965, p. 10).
