Book Description

9 and up
Shaun Morey, who recounted dozens of unbelievable-but-true grown-up fishermanís 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.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY?, June 1, 2005
This review is from: Kids' Incredible Fishing Stories (Paperback)

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.

This review is from: Kids' Incredible Fishing Stories (Paperback)
I bought this for my niece's youngest son (7 years old) who is a "fisherman" -- he loves to read the book to anyone and everyone that will listen.
