An ode to fishing. I didn’t really know what to expect when I picked this up but I didn’t realize it would be nonfiction accounts of Grey’s time on the sea and his battle with fish. He claims Hemingway’s Old Man and the Sea was based on him which I found interesting. I love reading and learning about new things even if it did take some time.
