Koford 1967 Journal 22 July 1967. Set. Mr. Bayovan, Depto. Picoa, Peru. were brought in and piled in truck. Caught by set & clamp nets. Have must have weighed over 100 lbs. I offered to buy one; they said they were worth (80$) about 20 soles in Puira. Then they gave me a small knife, and I took most of the meat for the kitchen.
