Greatest Fishing Stories Ever Told: Twenty-Eight Unforgettable Fishing Tales Paperback – April 1, 2004

I bought this book for my ten year old nephew as a Christmas gift because he is an avid fisherman. I hoped because it was collection of short stories it would hold his attention. He loves it! He is not normally crazy about reading but he loves this book. I would definitely recommend it to a fishing enthusiast.

Bought this for a fisherman-friend's birthday. He loved the book, and was especially pleased that not only were the stories diverse and well-written, but the chapters were short. Easy to get through a whole chapter in a relatively brief sitting and not have to worry about "OK, what was the story line up to the point I stopped reading last time?"

Bought this for my son who loves to fish. He really enjoyed the stories but enjoyed the Hunting book even more.

Warning, Dont start reading this book unless you have plenty of time because you are sure to be hooked.I love the intro to each story which tells about the author and his body of work.

Was Christmas gift for 12 yr old grandson and he loved it.

Fishing is an activity designed to create unusual stories and yes, examples of hyperbole. But unlike the ordinary fishy stories, these incredible fish tails (pun intended) are true - and incredible. Even if fishing isn't your thing, the stories remain highly entertaining and will often leave the reader shaking their head in amazement.

I bought this book for my husband. He read several stories in it but then put it down. I think it's a mixture of fiction and non-fiction tales but he only wanted non. So if you don't mind both then this maybe the book for you.
