Fishing Stories

My husband loved the funny stories! Nice book.

book

purchased this as a gift for fathers day. interesting reading....good stories. very entertaining. I would reccomend it for a great gift idea for anyone who likes fishing.

Kids love it too

I have three children ages 11,12,14. Ever since this book came, there has been "friendly fighting" over it. Any fisherman should like it.

A CREEL FULL OF AMAZING FISH STORIES

On their first trip to Alaska a couple also embarks on another first - a salmon fishing expedition. The novice fisherman has a strike, a hard hit that begins a struggle with a salmon that lasts more than 37 hours. Sound like a "fish story"? Well, it is, but it's a true one. Rather than putting together a collection of apocryphal fish stories, Shaun Morey has compiled a creel full of unusual amazing true fish stories in a compact 143 page volume that's fun to read. In addition to phonographs, the book is sparked with lively illustrations and little known facts about our piscatorial pals.
