Tall though the tales of Fisherman Zane Grey et al. may be, and excellent though the map of Admiral Dewey, the waters off Cape San Lucas were not full of huge, hungry denizens that evening. Mr. Hoover trolled first with a spinner, then with a silver minnow, and watched the launch's wake for the mighty splash of marlin, yellowtail or amberjack. But the splashes that came were comparatively small-a 15-pound dolphin, a 5-pound Spanish mackerel. A third fish, the "biggest one," got away.
