An irreverent testament to the millions of anglers who ever hooked something they oughta notta, lost a really big one, or told a whopper Fishing is the No. 1 sport for fun—and spectacular snafus. Whether it’s a pro like Ray Scott or a presidential angler like George Bush, the deck is stacked to make buffoons of the best. So cast off on an ocean of hooks, lines, and stinkers as fishing guides, charter boat captains, game wardens, and weekend fishermen spill the wacky truth about shamefully funny moments such as when: • Ray Cockrell landed a huge bluefish and ate it—only to find out later his catch would have been a world record. • Author Ernest Hemingway tried to shoot the shark he had just landed—but instead shot himself in the leg. • Pro angler Gary Klein put his boat on a high-speed plane through a patch of tall weeds—and wound up in a cow pasture. • A Colorado woman was nabbed by authorities after they discovered she had stuffed 17 illegally caught fresh trout in her underwear. • Jim Bitter landed a bass that would have won him $50,000 in a tournament—until he accidentally dropped it over the side. The Worst Tournament Cheats! The Weirdest Casting Accidents! The Funniest Fish Stories! They’re All Immortalized In The Fishing Hall of Shame

With estimates by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that over 60 million Americans are birdwatchers-it''s the fastest growing outdoor hobby-books on birds have a ready audience. Allan Zullo''s newest book, Amazing but True Bird Tales, documents nearly 200 outrageous shenanigans and surprising feats performed by our feathered friends. For example, the mockingbird who snuck into a conservatory evading the staff for two weeks while he dined on over $1,000 worth of rare butterflies. Or the very social chicken who received a lifetime achievement award from the ASPCA for her work with senior citizens and traumatized children. And the humorous account of the fractious parrot who constantly mimicked the sound of a circular saw. Drawn from factual accounts from the Audubon Society, news accounts from the United States and the United Kingdom, and numerous Web sites, each story further convinces us that these birds aren''t birdbrains at all. Zullo''s true tales will be irresistible to any birder whether it''s the up-before-dawn-binoculars-in-hand fanatic to the person who occasionally throws out their morning toast to enjoy watching the birds gobble it up.
