Moorhouse's Fish Weighed Two Hundred and Fifty Pounds. Avalon, July 4. — The world's tuna record was broken last evening by Colonel C. P. Moorhouse of Pasadena, who landed a 251 pound tuna with rod and reel after a battle which lasted three hours and twenty minutes. The tuna was hooked off White Rock about sundown and the greater part of the battle was fought in total darkness. The movements of the tuna were exceedingly hard to follow and great care had to be exercised to keep the light line from parting. (Los Angeles Herald, Number 278, 5 July 1899.).
