Zane Grey fished up to 300 days of the year. But, with all that time on the water, there was nothing more exciting or more compelling than the really BIG fish—the giants of the sea. Blue fin tuna are (even today) still sometimes pursued with harpoons! There's the story of a swordfish that was hooked at 10:30 in the morning and played until 11:30 that night—only to...! Tales of Swordfish and Tuna will dazzle and thrill any fishing heart.
Tales of Swordfish and Tuna is a new collection of Grey's saltwater-fishing adventures. They are well worth reading for pleasure and instruction. Just as he invented the Western, Grey also pioneered sporting fishing for the large ocean species of game fish. Praise for Zane Grey on Fishing: "Zane Grey on Fishing offers some of the author's best writing: don't let this one get away!"--Library Journal "The book is a selection of some of Grey's best work, and the stories and excerpts reveal a man who understood that angling is more than an activity. It is a lifestyle."--Great Lakes Boating "What has virtually remained hidden behind his conventional formulalike books in the Western genre is that Grey's best writing came when he wrote about angling. Here he was free to blend his talent for narrative and sense of humour. " --Atlantic Salmon Journal "Of course, the big daddy of far-flung fishing is Zane Grey. This is an excellent...reader for those who may want to dip into his truly fabulous fishing life. --Gray's Sporting Journal -- E. W. Smethurst Jr., The Chicago Tribune
