About This Book:
A lifelong fisherman sets out to sea to ply his trade as he has done all of his life. On this day, he hooks the fish of a lifetime, a marlin that is larger than his skiff. As it slowly pulls him out of the seas, the old man reminisces about his past, his successes, and the high points of his life. When he does finally man age to land the fish, he has to face several challenges to return to his village.
