This book describes Zane Grey's hair-raising tales of fishing in shark-infested Pacific waters. Tales of Tahitian Waters describes Grey's fishing expeditions to the Tahitian Islands during 1928, 1929, and 1930, in which he claims to be the first big-game fisherman to fish these waters. He came to this area after having passed nearby on his other fishing trips. Hearing accounts of there being marlin that were thirty feet long and sharks that measured fifty feet in length, he became determined to pursue these fish and add to his many fishing records. It was here where he describes catching a marlin weighing 1, 040 pounds, and the catch was recorded as the first 1, 000-pound fish ever caught. In Tales of Tahitian Waters, Grey says that these were the most difficult waters he had ever fished. Yet he claims a special affection for these waters, and he visited them numerous times afterward. | Tales Of Tahitian Waters by Zane Grey, Audio Book (CD) | Indigo Chapters
