Abstract:

Angelo De Paola has been catching king mackerel off the Jolly Roger Pier on Topsail Island for the past fifty-six years. While he has landed a number of different species from the pier, king mackerel seems to be his specialty with an impressive number of 512 caught as of June 2011. In November 2010 he passed another milestone - his ninetieth birthday. He draws on his half century of experience to give advice and help to beginning anglers in their quest for the king mackerel.
