"Tales of the Ultimate Sportsmen" are true stories about fishing and hunting from around the world. Average people tell their own true-life stories from experiences they had when they were fishing, hunting or just camping. From Caribou hunting in Alaska to wild boar in Hawaii to elephant hunting in Africa and all kinds of fishing in between.
From the Publisher
Jon Hedin and Tim Worel have been friends and fishing partners for over 15 years. Early one spring when Jon and Tim were fishing the Mississippi River, Jon caught a 5-pound bass. As he was practicing the art of 'catch and release', the big bass accidentally hit Tim smack in the middle of his head. Between the loud chuckles and fits of laughter, Tim tried to convince Jon that writing hunting and fishing stories about their experiences was the best idea since rubber worms. After awhile the pen and paper came out of Jon's pocket and the boys got real serious (well, as serious as two guys can get while catching a few hundred fish and trying to write everything down on a piece of paper in a shaky boat). That's how the original idea got started.
These true-life stories about their hunting and fishing experiences were eventually shared with readers from around the world via the World Wide Web. It came as no surprise to Jon and Tim that there were many readers who had their own stories to tell. They developed a Web page and invited readers to write in and share their stories with others.
Now, years later, this is their first book-a collection of some of the best true-life hunting and fishing stories that have been sent to them from around the world. Some funny, some with a lot of action, and some stories simply about being in the right place at the right time.
