Ernest Hemingway wrote what is in my humble opinion the single best fishing story of all time.Here are some excerp's from the Prize winning book about an old fisherman.An old man with a linen handline fights the fish of his life ;a giant marlin from a wooden skiff.The old man is beyond exhaustion but pushes himself and remembers his youth to find the strength to overcome. The Old Man and the Sea, a novel by American writer Ernest Hemingway, was written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It recounts an epic battle between an old fisherman and a giant marlin. Hemingway received the Pulitzer Prize for the book in 1953 and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. Ernest Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899, and died on July 2, 1961. THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA- Ernest Hemingway "He is wonderful and strange and who knows how old he is, he thought. Never have I had such a strong fish nor one who acted so strangely... He cannot know that it is only one man against him, nor that it is an old man. But what a great fish he is"
