DescriptionSwordfish catch, Cuttyhunk. Al Little. Striped bass, bluefish, and swordfish have traditionally abounded off Cuttyhunk, and generations of island fishermen have displayed uncanny skill in finding and catching them-and teaching off-island sportfishermen to do the same. Hailing from South Dartmouth, the 40-foot Huckins Fairform Flyer JUNET and her original owner (Al Little) began their instruction off Cuttyhunk in 1947. This 1970 image indicates that they learned their lessons well.On View
