Stories:
Read about Ian McGonagles amazing catch, a 760-pound blue
marlin: "Three tuna broke from the school, one swam between my legs and the
other two tried to find shelter in my arm pits. I was busy trying to push one of the tuna
far enough away for a shot, when I noticed what provoked such unusual behavior. It was a
giant blue marlin, lit up like a neon sign with brilliant blues and golds.....I
fired.....my float streaked away like a missile......"
***************************
Read about Paulo Gaspar's record bluefin tuna:
"Even though I desperately needed to come up for air, I couldn't lose this
chance.....I made minor adjustments to my wrist....I fired! Instantly, the great tuna
stopped, opened its mouth as its tail trembled rapidly......."
***********************
Read about Gerald Lim's 260-pound yellowfin tuna:
"In the blink of an eye, the fish accelerates to warp speed, creates an
audible roar and in 2 seconds, carves out three loops of a 50-foot diameter spiral around
me, all the while trailing the plume of blood like a crippled fighter plane......."
***************************
And the tiger shark that tried to eat Terry:
"Something was swimming up to me. A shark. Big shark. Boxy face—must be
a tiger. Coming straight up.....surely it will veer off soon......"
