This collection, first published in 1925, describes his fishing adventures in exotic locales throughout the Pacific region.These stories capture the drama and excitement that Grey experienced in being the first person to fish many waters―from the Galapagos Islands to Cabo San Lucas―and in being the first to catch and document many new species of fish.
