A Leviathan of the Deep: The Largest Fish Ever Caught On Light Tackle In the vast waters of Florida, United States, a legendary creature lurks beneath the surface. Known as the Sawfish, this majestic species roams both the Mediterranean and Atlantic regions, captivating all who encounter its awe-inspiring presence. One remarkable sighting took place off the coast of Florida when a Giant Sawfish was captured. Hung up by a mast, it became an emblematic symbol of man's triumph over nature. Weighing a staggering 850 pounds, this colossal specimen proved to be an extraordinary catch on light tackle. The image depicted in Le Vocabulaire Illustre showcases another facet of these incredible creatures. With their elongated snouts adorned with sharp teeth resembling saws they can aptly named Saw-fish or Sagefisch. This engraving captures their unique anatomy and highlights their distinctiveness among other fishes. Historical records reveal that even during ancient times, people were fascinated by these magnificent beings. In Ms D-212 fol. 353a - The Journey of Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) on the China Sea - there is mention of encounters with Embrio squali pristis or The Saw fish. Their presence left an indelible mark on explorers' minds as they ventured into uncharted territories. Fast forward to more recent times at Colonial and Indian Exhibition in Queensland; visitors marveled at engravings depicting Fishing for Sawfish. These illustrations showcased brave fishermen battling against these formidable creatures using traditional methods passed down through generations. While some may fear encountering such powerful predators in their natural habitats, conservation efforts have been put forth to protect them from extinction. Preserved specimens like Pristis pectinatus found in Amazon River Basin serve as reminders of our responsibility towards safeguarding biodiversity. The Small-toothed Sawfish further exemplifies how these species thrive within different ecosystems.
