Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

But, for as much as they love telling their own stories, they love hearing others’ favorite true-life tales. From Field and Stream magazine’s Deputy Editor, Colin Kearns and fishermen everywhere, comes The World’s Best Fishing Stories. Anyone who appreciates a good story can appreciate the infinite resource that is the sport of fishing. These stories have been collected and shared throughout the 120-year history of the magazine, from writers old and new, with tales infamous and unknown. The best true-life fishing tales about big catches, bright seas, and the respect that nature commands. A fishing story is, in the end, not about catching fish. What matters is the quest, the company and the challenge. This collection stories from the likes of John Updike, Bill Heavey, Zane Gray, Eddie Nickens, Ian Frazier, Kim Barnes, and Thomas McGuane, is one you don’t want to miss!
