More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
A grueling 37-hour fight with a Pacific salmon. The maimed fisherman whose severed thumb turned up in the belly of a Mackinaw trout. From extraordinary marlin quests to the crazy bat who took an artificial fly, from hackle-raising tales of "fish catches man" to those nutty catfish noodlers who grope into the murkiest holes bare-handed, here are fishing's most unpredictable and spectacular tales. To get them, Shaun Morey traveled from Alaska to Australia, Mexico and the Caribbean, interviewed anglers, boat captains, guides and witnesses, dug up photographs and video tapes, and confirmed each story.

A CREEL FULL OF AMAZING FISH STORIES
1 Jun 2005
Format:Paperback
On their first trip to Alaska a couple also embarks on another first - a salmon fishing expedition. The novice fisherman has a strike, a hard hit that begins a struggle with a salmon that lasts more than 37 hours.
Sound like a "fish story"? Well, it is, but it's a true one. Rather than putting together a collection of apocryphal fish stories, Shaun Morey has compiled a creel full of unusual amazing true fish stories in a compact 143 page volume that's fun to read.
In addition to phonographs, the book is sparked with lively illustrations and little known facts about our piscatorial pals.

I have three children ages 11,12,14. Ever since this book came, there has been "friendly fighting" over it. Any fisherman should like it.
