A book like none other
has recently been added to the offerings from
Bimini Twist Adventures, Inc. This is a
collection of stories written by today's biggest
names in offshore fishing. Each of these living
legends tells his favorite stories of adventure
after decades of experience on the bridge. The
men involved in this effort read like the Who's
Who of big game fishing. Peter Bristow writes
about his experiences with JoJo DelGuercio on the
Great Barrier Reef. Skip Smith writes about
breaking line class world records for swords
while fishing off Africa. Peter Wright's article
is about a race to save the life of his angler
after a black marlin spears the man through the
chest 1,000 miles from the nearest hospital. Some
of the stories have been told before and some of
them are already legend. Many of us know about
Bobby Brown backing down over his wireman in
Kona, but this is the first time you can read
about it in his own words. (The mate survived
uninjured.) And Bart Miller and his crew took
down a blue marlin weighing 1,656 pounds, the
second largest blue marlin ever taken on a rod
and reel.
Added to this list are such great names as Ron
Hamlin, Brazakka,
Kevin Nakamaru, Bark Garnsey, Bouncer Smith,
Billy Harrison and George Poveromo. Each of these
famous captains has provided one or more of their
favorite stories to Patrick Mansell who has
compiled them into a single book that could
possibly be one of the most important collections
of fishing stories ever assembled. Mansell is the
author of the Bimini Twist Adventure series of
books as well as several other books outside the
series.
