Just got mine today.. Can't have too many books on tarpon.. Great collection of old time, "Back in the day" tarpon stories by some famous and not so famous anglers.. Perfect read for sitting by the fire place with a brandy, while the snow is falling.. Or better yet sitting in the airport bar,with a Land Shark, waiting for you Key West connection!
Here is what they have to say...
Randy Wayne White's Ultimate Tarpon Book offers everything you could ever want to know about the origins of big game fishing, told in the words of those who were there. Zane Grey and Theodore Roosevelt fished for tarpon, so did Ernest Hemingway, Thomas Edison, Frederic Remington, and many others. The stories and narratives they wrote based on their experiences--along with those of more than 100 other contributors, including some of the best outdoor writers of our time--are presented here. The book includes information on the pioneer tarpon guides, the historic tarpon lodges, the innkeepers, the outfitters, the boat builders, and the scientists that made Fort Myers the greatest big game fishing resort in the country.
