| From a grueling 37-hour fight with a Pacific salmon to the maimed fisherman whose severed thumb turned up in the belly of a Mackinaw trout. From extraordinary marlin quests to hair-raising tales of "fish catches man，" here are fishing s 80 most unpredictable and spectacular tales. To get them， Shaun Morey-a fanatical fisherman and inveterate story collector-traveled from Alaska to Australia， Mexico， and the Caribbean to interview anglers， boat captains， guides and witnesses; to dig up photographs， and to confirm each tale. You ll read about Captain Jimmy Lewis who， in a moment of sheer bravado (or insanity)， speared by hand-and landed-a 1，600-pound hammerhead shark. Or Bob Smith， fulfilling his twenty-year quest to catch all forty species of North America s wild trout on the bitter cold morning after his eighty-first birthday. Or the 800-pound blue marlin that made a final lunge-ripping up the deck and dragging a chair， with Paul Clause strapped in it， to the bottom of the ocean. (Paul survived; so did the marlin.) Truth is stranger than fiction.337，000 copies in print. |
