Synopsis

The Greatest Fishing Stories Ever Told is sure to ignite recollections of your own angling experiences as well as send your imagination adrift. In this compilation of tales you will hear about two kinds of places, the ones you have been to before and love to remember, and the places you have only dreamed of going, and would love to visit. Whether you prefer to fish rivers, estuaries, or beaches, this book will take you to all kinds of water, where you'll experience catching every kind of fish.

Listen as some of the sport's most talented writers recount their personal memories of catching bass, trout, bluefish marlin, tuna, and more. Explore the Pacific with Zane Grey, as he fights a 1,000-pound blue marlin, or listen as A. J. McClane explains just what it really means to be an angler. Take a step back in time when you hear Ernie Schwiebert's tale of fishing a remote lake in Michigan, when he was still only a young boy. Each of these stories, selected because of its intrinsic literary worth, reinforces the unique personal connection that fishing creates between people and nature.

This was overall a pretty good book. Out of all the stories compiled within it I found, "Fishing the Run," to be my favorite.

Goodreads review by Mike

Picking out stories for an art event, I found many of these to be great. Many of them are so-so. Fishing, like baseball and golf (presumably), lends itself to literature because of all of the contemplation and solitude. It was somewhat like reading Patrick O'Brien or Tom Clancy (presumably) in that......more
