A great anthology of Australian and New Zealand fishing stories. Mostly tales of big-game angling. Contributions from Zane Grey, Nino Culotta, T.C. Roughley, Barry Crump, Ion Idriess, Lance Wedlick, Bob Dyer, Bill Harney, Arthur Upfield, Vic McCristal, Russell Drysdale, Jock Marshall. This edition only carries the date of the first New Zealand printing (1966) but it is obviously contemporary with the second Australian edition of 1971.
