"Tales of Fishes" by Zane Grey is a compilation of personal fishing stories that transports readers to the early 1900s. It is an exploration of Grey's deep love for pursuing various kinds of fish, filled with vibrant stories of his adventures in diverse fishing spots. Grey thinks about the excitement of the catch and the underlying meaning of fishing, creating a colorful picture of nature and sport. The book starts by taking readers to Grey's fishing trips on the Panuco River in Mexico, detailing a journey with his guide, Attalano, that begins with eager hopes but turns into a battle against nature's challenges as they seek to catch tarpon in a beautiful setting. Grey paints a clear picture of the thrilling and annoying parts of fishing, which ends with a near catch of a huge tarpon, that is ultimately lost. This part gets the collection rolling, highlighting the mixture of success and failure that comes with fishing.
