Description: Produced by R.O.K. Pathe. "Two different types of fishing are shown. Fishing for sport—salmon fishing in the Newfoundland waters in Lower Humber, and 'Doc' Travis' remarkable technique in trout fishing. Scenes of fishing for business—in Palestine the fisherman awakens the fish with the rhythm of drums. In Sicilian waters the fishermen go out in flat water barges with nets, sometimes ten miles long, to fish for tuna." "Water scenes of great beauty; catching monster tunas, hauling them aboard and later landing them quite thrilling. Photography and recording excellent."
