Boy, Flap, that's next on my reading list -

Glassel as you probably know still has the record for black marlin at 1,570 lbs - the fish is now at the Smithsonian and the footage of that battle was used in the movie version of 'The Old Man and The Sea' with Spencer Tracey.

Hope to pick it up soon - I'm just now finishing up my annual reread of Jerry Sylvester's 'Saltwater Fishing Is Easy' -

Signed edition....hmmm.........nice, very nice!

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
