To capture the fish is not all of the fishing. Yet there are circumstances which make this philosophy hard to accept. I have in mind an incident of angling tribulation which rivals the most poignant instant of my boyhood, when a great trout flopped for one sharp moment on a mossy stone and then was gone like a golden flash into the depths of the pool.

Let me say right up front, I am not a fisherman, but I am a lover of Zane Grey and his books. I have enjoyed his westerns and historical fiction for 40 years, and have always wanted these "fishing" books to finish my collection of his works. This book does not disappoint if you like Zane Grey as a writer; for he tells each tale as he tells his westerns with the same descriptive finesse and appreciation of the environment around him. The stories in this book are a diverse group, ranging from Tampico, Mexico, the Yucatan, to Avalon and Catalina Island off the California cost. The fish he goes after are as varied--tarpoon, swordfish, tuna and more. Buy this book, sit back and relax as Zane Grey takes you fishing all over the world.
