Fishing's strangest days: extraordinary but true stories from over two hundred years of angling history

Fishing's Strangest Tales gathers together choice stories and bizarre fishing
tales from all over the world. Consider the Oxford scientist who in 1910
discovered the marvellous life-giving properties of brandy to fish who had
otherwise gasped their last. Or how about the nine-year-old boy fishing for trout
who caught a large mussel – containing no less than forty pearls – and
managed to earn more in one day than his father, a farm worker, had earned in
the last five years. Fishing's Strangest Days is full of fascinating tales that may
sound fishy and unbelievable but will have have you caught hook, line and
sinker.
