Join the author as he recalls a lifetime of the personal joys that fishing has brought to him. This compilation of short stories are non-fiction, family-oriented, and humorous; yet chock-full of information about fishing techniques and geographic details of the lakes and areas described.Fishermen have been known to stretch the truth a bit when recalling their tales and the author is no exception, but these tales are the closest to the facts that he can recall. During his fishing adventures he has encountered Bigfoot, drug dealers, zombies, gators, ghosts, and even a close encounter with an alien. The magic of fishing is to expect the unexpected.More people participate in fishing than all other sports combined. One of the reasons for this is that the sport goes across all boundaries: education, gender, interest, and age. Anyone can do it and there is no doubt that once you catch your first fish, you are hooked. G.O.Fishin': True Tall Tales from the Tackle Box will take you on a trip that will traverse all of these boundaries and bring you closer to the real meaning of life.The best quote that can express the wonder of fishing was found by the author during research and written by an anonymous fisherman: "The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of that which is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope." Never have words expressed such hope more succinctly than what is conveyed in this book.
