Book Description

A collection of true-life fishing tales about big catches, bright seas, and the one that got away—from John Updike, Phil Caputo, Jim Harrison, and others. Anyone who appreciates a good story can appreciate the infinite resource that is the sport of fishing. This collection represents the very best stories about fishing to appear in Field & Stream throughout its 120-year history. It includes writers old and new, with tales infamous and unknown. A fishing story is, in the end, not about catching fish. What matters is the quest, the company, and the challenge. Here you’ll find stories of deep insight, incredible drama, and delightful humor from the likes of Bill Heavey, Zane Gray, Eddie Nickens, Ian Frazier, Kim Barnes, Thomas McGuane, and many others.

Book Description

What’s almost as good as going fishing? Hearing, telling, and swapping great fish stories. Shaun Morey is a fisherman, a connoisseur of fish stories, and a journalist with a novelist’s eye (and vice versa) in this collection of over 100 incredible (and true!) fishing stories. Here are Remarkable Catches—like the time Billy Sandifer caught a 1,000-pound tiger shark in the surf (he released it after nabbing a souvenir tooth). Grueling Battles—like Bob Ploeger’s record-breaking 37-hour fight with a Pacific salmon. Hilarious Feats of Bravery, like the exploits of Matt Watson, who leapt out of a helicopter to land on the back of a marlin. And, in what can only be considered poetic justice, Shocking Acts of Fish Aggression, like Mitchell Lee Franklin’s visit to the emergency room with a 5-pound catfish attached to his chest via an impaled dorsal fin. Includes illustrations, photos, and links to videos on the author’s website.
