George Leo Haydock, on Tob 6:4

“And the angel said to him: Take him by the gill, and draw him to thee. And when he had done so, he drew him out upon the land, and he began to pant before his feet.”

“Take him. “It,” would be as proper. — Gill. Greek, “Seize the fish, and the boy got the better of the fish, and threw it upon the land.” (Haydock) — Hebrew also omits the gill and the panting, (Calmet) circumstances which would invalidate the opinions of many respecting the nature of this fish, v. ii.[ver. 2.?] (Haydock)”
