I am a fisherman. Have you ever fished before?
Big-game fishing
Big-game fishing, also known as offshore sportfishing, offshore gamefishing, or blue-water fishing is a form of recreational fishing, targeting large fish such as tuna and marlin which game fisherman regard as having "sporting qualities".
History.
Big-game fishing started as a sport after the invention of the motor boat. Charles Frederick Holder, a marine biologist and early conservationist, is credited with founding the sport in 1898. He went on to publish many articles and books on
the House of Lords between 1923 and 1924. He also gained distinction as an ornithologist and angler.
Grey was a contemporary of angler G. E. M. Skues at Winchester College, but it is unknown whether or not the two ever met or fished together while attending school. At the time of his writing "Fly Fishing", Grey was considered one of the finest dry fly fisherman in England and a master of the Hampshire chalkstreams.
