Here is his little classic of the chase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFour miles out I sighted a long sickle fin cutting through a swell. Did I yell, \"Marlin!\"? I certainly did. An instant later Peter sighted another farther out, and this tail fin belonged to a large fish. I could not tell whether or not it indicated a black marlin. It stood up three feet or more, and that much would make a tail spread of over six feet. These marlin were riding the swells and they were moving fast. The tails would come up out of the top of a swell and cut the water at more than a ten-knot speed. Then they would vanish. It is always necessary to run the boat in the right direction to head the fish off. The Avalon is fast - she can do eighteen knots when opened up - but we could not catch up with the big fellow.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zane Grey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1923205579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781923205574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ETT Imprint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.27d","brand":"Zane Grey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486337216767,"sku":"9781923205574","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d15d33e5-4c41-4f6a-8801-91b74b8f52ad.jpg?v=1778054945","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-american-angler-in-australia-zane-grey-9781923205574","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
