...dragon-a monster!" says one lifelong Bavarian pursuer of the huchen. The fish is a bit of both: triangular head with gaping mouth and reddish eyes, a silver-bellied, copper-backed body that can grow as big as 6 ft. and 110 lbs. With snow on their foreheads and sweat on their cheeks, fishermen have struggled for more than an hour to land even 40-lb. catches, then continued the fight on shore with club and stone.

Jones also always wears a toothpick in a corner of his mouth, although he once almost choked when one stuck in his throat after a collision with Milwaukee's Hank Aaron.
