Zane Grey On Fishing

Zane Grey is best known as a fishing writer for the wild adventures of catching world record giants in the oceans around the world.

This collection, first published in 1925, describes Grey's fishing adventures in exotic locales throughout the Pacific Region.

Zane Grey fished up to 300 days of the year. But, with all that time on the water, there was nothing more exciting or more compelling than the really BIG fish—the giants of the sea. Blue fin tuna are (even today) still sometimes pursued with harpoons! There's the story of a swordfish that was hooked at 10:30 in the morning and played until 11:30 that night—only to...! Tales of Swordfish and Tuna will dazzle and thrill any fishing heart.

Stories by a master storyteller recapture an era of wild adventures, legendary sportsmen, and rugged landscapes in some of the world's most exotic locales.

Tales of the Angler's Eldorado by Zane Grey is about New Zealand and its mysterious and plentiful varieties of mythic trout. Grey writes about monstrous swordfish and lovely, bountiful streams. Excerpt: "THERE is always something wonderful about a new fishing adventure trip—for a single day, or for a week, or for months. The enchantment never palls. For years on end, I have been trying to tell why, but that has been futile. Fishing is like Jason's quest for the Golden Fleece."

Most of the fish caught are sharks (great white, tiger, even a few carpet!) but you can't go big game fishing in Australia and not expect to be teased by marlins.
