Tales of Fishing Virgin Seas

By: Zane Grey

Narrated by: William Hope

Zane Grey, America's master storyteller of the old West, was a passionate angler. He fished as many as 300 days of the year. 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. No lover of Zane Grey storytelling will want to miss these real-life adventures.

The Los Angeles Times listed Tales of Fishing Virgin Seas as one of the best nonfiction books of 2000.

A Los Angeles Times Pick of Best Nonfiction Books of 2000

Informative

I enjoyed hearing about the different kinds of fish from Nova Scotia to the tropics. He is a master of describing the day, the fish, the moods of the people on the ship.

Awesome book!!! 10 stars

One of the best books I’ve heard in a long time I knew of his western novels he worked on didn’t realize he done some on his fishing experiences would’ve been an absolute phenomenal time to been there on that boat with him!!!!!

Even for an author in the 1930s it’s pretty racist

Love fishing, but the racism here is so jarring it spoils the fishing and sea stories. I’m going to throw this one back in and cast my line out again until I find a keeper. I can make allowances for the times but Mark Twain was from 40 years before and did much better by comparison.
