In the world of sport fishing, there are legendary captains who have set the bar for others to follow. Since the history of fishing has been recorded and technology has helped to improve the sport, some great captains have spent literally decades, in some instances a half century or more, traveling the globe, searching for fish, and showing their anglers the times of their lives. At various times and in various locations these legendary fishermen get together to spin their yarns. And now that history has recorded years and years of big game fishing adventure, there is plenty of content to be shared with the world. Very fortunately Patrick Mansell set out to create a part of this record beginning in around 2002. And that was fortunate as these captains are aging, and once they pass, many of their stories pass with them. For this reason this brief chronicle of a dozen of the most outstanding fishermen has been saved.
Sport fishing is a pervasive activity. It is practiced by millions of people throughout the world, and it is a multi billion dollar industry. In Living Legends of Big Game Fishing the reader gets to see how this is done by the best who ever lived. The tackle that has been used and invented, the amazing boats that ply the world's oceans, the crazy luck, both good and bad, and all the other elements that make up the world wide sport fishing industry. And because this is a non fiction book, the reader has a front row seat to many of the most outstanding adventure stories ever told. And to make this so much better, each story was written by the legendary captain featured, so these stories are not simply here-say, they are the authentic adventure stories of each individual man. There has been plenty written in the action adventure fiction genre on the subject of sport fishing, but there is nothing to compare to these true stories of great fishing adventure in every ocean, in every corner of the globe.
