1963 Penn Reel Catalog

[Backbeach Jake]

Neil Cordeiro owned the Gulf station next to Duatre Motors on Bradford Street in P-town. That fish hung above his desk in his office. It was an awesome sight to behold. I'd buy my cokes from his machine, not my bosses, at breaktime just to see it. Got me some sideways glances from Joe Duarte, God rest him.
Mr. Cordeiro died in a boating accident much later. Good guy, took time to chat with a teenaged me .

DZ , thank you for posting this list. Mularcyk was one of three
brothers who co-owned a classic bass boat which they kept
moored in Clark cove south end of NB. In their later years they
trolled using wire. But in 1954 they probably used a different method.
One fish not mentioned was caught by Frank Machado in the Canal in the late 50's. It weighed 67 lbs. and was caught on a
large Gibbs cast a lure popper. This fish won the Gov.cup in Mass.
and to this day maybe the largest Bass caught in the Canal.
