Extraordinary but true stories from over two hundred years of angling
history.
Fishing's Strangest Tales gathers together choice stories and bizarre
fishing tales from all over the world. Consider the Oxford scientist who
in 1910 discovered the marvellous life-giving properties of brandy to
fish who had otherwise gasped their last. Or how about the nine-year-old
boy fishing for trout who caught a large mussel - containing no less
than forty pearls - and managed to earn more in one day than his father,
a farm worker, had earned in the last five years? Fishing's Strangest
Days is full of fascinating tales that may sound fishy and unbelievable
but will have have you caught hook, line and sinker.
