Classic writing remains "classic" only insofar as people want to read it. Angling historians may study the evolution of tackle or tying techniques, or perhaps the methods of fishing used hundreds of years ago, but the wonderful stories about fishing are read and reread only because they give pleasure today; because they give us insights into why we fish and the nature of our passion; and because they are well written. This book offers sixteen of the best classic fishing stories that have stood the inescapable test of time.

There was much to learn as a new surgical intern at the University of Virginia for the young intern, Dr. Douglas Gaker, but his most memorable lesson didn't come from a lecture or fellow resident. It came from a very ill cancer patient from West Virginia who had little to say. In what otherwise might be seen as a health challenge in need of attention, Dr. Gaker and his sick patient embarked on a private adventure that very few could understand. They embarked on the greatest fish story ever. Both left that adventure a little better for having been on it together and one avoided a most certain miserable and inhumane journey.

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.

An eclectic collection of fishing stories and related poetry from Australia. Adventurous stories about the great white shark of Seal Rocks Victoria, to the cunning blackfish and prawns that live in the Davistown baths of New South Wales. All the stories have an associated poem, written as a response to the adventure. Real life stories of fun, drama and a few embarrassing moments. Most stories were the direct experience of the author. The associated poetic reflections have a strong spiritual connection with God and country. These reflections generally concentrate on the Author's boyhood experience. The Author's passion is to preserve the environment by campaigning for a closed season on snapper fishing. To be introduced when they are laying their eggs in the spring time to avoid extinction. The author hopes that the reader will be motivated to care for snapper and experience the bird song at dawn. Fishing is a great way of recharging the brain after a hard day's work. I believe all fishermen are destined to be great mates for life. So I hope you smile when reading this booklet. I have enjoyed recording my memoirs for the grandchildren. So Fish On Australia.
