1145 Code CEGAR Fish from Hell Independent This picture was made by a group of wealthy sportsmen, off the West
Coast of Mexico — the fisherman's paradise.
An 800-pound tuna is the first large fish sighted, and caught on a rod and reel. A shark attacks the hooked tuna and there develops a three-cornered battle, man versus tuna, tuna versus shark. The tuna is finally brought aboard. Now, to get the shark! Which is accomplished after another stirring battle.
Then comes the harpooning of a giant manta weighing several tons. After towing the boat the manta turns, plunges against the rowboat and capsizes it, throwing the men into the shark-infested waters, from which they are rescued.
A diver is sent down and is photographed by the special under-sea camera amid the beauties of the ocean — truly a dreamland. Suddenly and octopus appears behind the diver. A native boy dives down to warn the diver, who forthwith discards his heavy helmet and boots, and escapes to the surface — all clearly shown through the under-sea camera.
Then comes a fight between a 120-foot whale, weighing over 100 tons, who is attacked by his deadly enemy, a 15-foot swordfish. After this fight has been raging for some time, the whale is harpooned, brought alongside and big gaping wounds made by the swordfish are seen by the under-sea camera as sharks tear at the wounds. Then the sportsmen go after this demon swordfish with rod and reel. After he is hooked, the greatest fishing picture ever made shows the tremendous leaps of this swordfish, time and again, entirely clear of the surface and sometimes executing complete barrel-rolls while in the air! Finally, he is brought to grips alongside the small boat by one of the daring fishermen, who is shown hauling him aboard with his bare hands, after a terrific struggle in which the result is long in doubt.
