There are books written about people that make themselves out to be hard core fishermen but really they use fishing as an excuse to bum around the wharf and docks but don’t put the time in.
See this hand?
The man that this hand belongs to is the kind of guy a book about a real fisherman should be written about. A man that could tell countless stories about fishing in real weather in ridiculous conditions.
It’s too bad that armchair fishermen get the glory when the guys that deserve the glory never get mentioned.
Guys like Busty Brancleone. The real deal.
