Kids' Incredible Fishing Stories

By Shaun Morey

Book Overview

Shaun Morey, who recounted dozens of unbelievable-but-true grown-up fishermanis tales in his first book, Incredible Fishing Stores, which now has over 350,000 copies in print, turns his attention to young anglers. "Kid's Incredible Fishing Stories" is a collection of Bizarre Catches, Fierce and Fantastic Fish, Awesome Anglers, and Record Breakers. There's 11-year-old Clayton Ludington, who stood up to a 315-pound yellowfin tuna, and Michael Mealy, a 16-year-old who landed the first tarpon ever caught on rod and reel in Cape Cod--and the first tarpon snared in those waters in 70 years. There's the exceptional angler Weston Fowler, who won his first tarpon tournament at the age of 9 and a few years later caught a 1,000-pound tiger shark. And there's the boy who hooked a piranha in Lake Ronkonkoma, Long Island. Suitable for ages 8 and up. "

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY?

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.

A Crazy Book!

This book is really awesome! You cannot believe the stories Shaun Morey has in his book. A six-year-old tiny little girl fighting a gigantic 76 pound salmon! Wow! That was just one story wait until you read the others.
