Incredible--and True!--Fishing Stories

Whats 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 novelists eye (and vice versa) in this collection of over 100 incredible (and true!) fishing stories.

Here are Remarkable Catcheslike the time Billy Sandifer caught a 1,000-pound tiger shark in the surf (he released it after nabbing a souvenir tooth). Grueling Battleslike Bob Ploegers 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 Franklins visit to the emergency room with a 5-pound catfish attached to his chest via an impaled dorsal fin.
