Product Description

The author of Incredible Fish Stories turns his attention to young anglers who have their own stories to tell. Each tale has been verified by Morey and works both as exciting entertainment and as a you-can-do-it-too lesson to kids who are just starting to take their fishing--and reading about fishing--seriously. Two-color photos & illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Crazy Book!, November 25, 1999

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

By	Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)    (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)

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.
