Book Description
What if a fish wanted to go to a football game? That’s the question facing Finley, a river fish, and his underwater friends. Finley and company, a clever, hard-working, and creative bunch, fire up an old TV they find sunken in the river. Before long, Finley falls in love with watching football, and he dreams of traveling to the stadium to watch a game. Using odds and ends from an old submerged junkyard, Finley and his quirky crew hatch a zany plan. They stumble into strange landscapes, dodge pumpkins, and crash into crazy football fans, defying overwhelming odds to get Finley to the big game. Full of fun (and sneakily educational), Finley, the Fish Who Loved Football proves that with good friends, creativity, and hard work, a river fish can make a big splash in the world of humans...even when he’s up to his gills in madcap mayhem.

Incredible Fishing Stories

Publisher: Workman Publishing
ISBN: 0761171118
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
From a grueling 37-hour fight with a Pacific salmon to the maimed fisherman whose severed thumb turned up in the belly of a Mackinaw trout. From extraordinary marlin quests to hair-raising tales of "fish catches man," here are fishing's 80 most unpredictable and spectacular tales. To get them, Shaun Morey-a fanatical fisherman and inveterate story collector-traveled from Alaska to Australia, Mexico, and the Caribbean to interview anglers, boat captains, guides and witnesses; to dig up photographs, and to confirm each tale. You'll read about Captain Jimmy Lewis who, in a moment of sheer bravado (or insanity), speared by hand-and landed-a 1,600-pound hammerhead shark. Or Bob Smith, fulfilling his twenty-year quest to catch all forty species of North America's wild trout on the bitter cold morning after his eighty-first birthday. Or the 800-pound blue marlin that made a final lunge-ripping up the deck and dragging a chair, with Paul Clause strapped in it, to the bottom of the ocean. (Paul survived; so did the marlin.) Truth is stranger than fiction.

A Naturalist Goes Fishing
Author: James McClintock
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466879254
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
In the tradition of fishing classics, A Naturalist Goes Fishing combines elements of the triumph between fisher and fish, humor and wit, and a passionate concern for the natural environment. James McClintock takes us to some of the most breathtaking waters the world has to offer while capturing the drama and serendipity in the beloved sport of fishing. We follow him and his fishing buddies and professional guides, as he fishes off the marshy barrier islands of Louisiana, teeming with life but also ravaged by recent disasters like the Deepwater Horizon spill. We travel to the remote waters of New Zealand's Stewart Island, where the commercial fishing industry is fast disappearing; fish for gigantic Antarctic toothfish through a drilled ice hole at McMurdo Station; and scout for spotted bass on Alabama's Cahaba River, which has the highest diversity of fresh water fish in North America. As we take this global journey, we see how sea level rise, erosion, pollution, water acidification, and overfishing each cause damage. This strikingly beautiful narrative is a must read for anglers and nature lovers alike.
