From the bestselling author of Saban , 4th and Goal , and Sowbelly comes the thrilling, untold story of the quest for the world record tarpon on a fly rod—a tale that reveals as much about Man as it does about the fish.
“This is a story of the obsessed, unhinged, and often brilliant dreamers who chase giant tarpon–a primeval fish with breathtaking glamour and ungodly strength. The thrill of hooking one on a fly rod is impossible to exaggerate, so you can believe every word of Monte Burke’s funny, wistful, wonderful book. He’s clearly as sick as the rest of us.” —Carl Hiaasen
