LOU MARRON - UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI
PACIFIC BILLFISH EXPEDITION
OK, so you gather a couple of your big game fishing buddies
and their wives
and you fund a fishing expedition under the
auspices
of research along
with a
University and then
head off to go billfishing in Chile. You have a great time,
catch a lot of fish and then you get to write it off when you
get home.  Does this sound like fun, well I'm sure it was.
Big Daddy Lou Marron, his wife and their fishing buddies,
John and Georgia Manning, head down to Chile to
catch
and do some research on billfish ... and in the process,
Lou lands a 1182 swordfish that still stands as a
world record today, 69 years later.
This 65 page preliminary report documents the trip
with photos of Lou and his big Fin-Nor reel and
Tycoon rod, and yes, there is some research
results in the report too.  Great stuff!!
The book is in very good+ condition.
