Kids' Incredible Fishing Stories
Shaun Morey, who recounted dozens of unbelievable-but-true grown-up fishermanÂs 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.
