    Mrs. Ned (Connie) Maze, East Main Street, who hooked a 26-1/2 pound grouper on a recent fishing jaunt in Florida, had to have help in pulling it in. Because it was the largest caught at Clearwater since December, it earned an unexpected $43 from two different jackpots. The money was joyfully spent on more fishing and boating for the family, and the fish was cut up and packed in dry ice for the journey home to the Maze freezer. Son Tom has started processing the grouper's head to hang as a trophy.
