Description
the one that got away, the one that got too big and the one that went horribly wrong - from the author of Dead Fishy. Get hooked on Hansen. these stories feature killer trout, trophy marlin, vengeful giant turtles, frozen margaritas, an exorcism and a fat kid you'll just hate. there would be romance but for the fact that there's this fish that does really funny things to your libido ... this book was influenced by Roald Dahl, Ernest Hemingway, Carl Hiaasen and Zane Grey - but only just. the stories have humour, drama and really nice fish. Reel them in.

Derek is the author of eight novels and three collections of short stories. He is married with two grown-up children, and divides his time between his homes in Sydney and the Sunshine Coast.
