Description of the Tarpon
This fish resembles a herring somewhat in outline. It is a slender, graceful fish, and is covered with enormous silvery scales. The color on the back is a deep bluish or purplish, silvery on the sides and beneath. The dorsal and anal fins are of peculiar shape, and the tail is large and deeply notched. The average weight of the full grown fish is from 75 to 150 pounds, but it is said to reach a weight of 400 pounds and a length of eight feet.
