Published in 1953, this is a comprehensive exploration of big game fishing across the Pacific Ocean. Serving as a sequel to his earlier work, Pacific Game Fishing (1942), this book updates and expands upon the subject, offering detailed accounts of fishing expeditions from Chile and Peru up through Central America to the western coasts of North America. Farrington, who served as the salt water editor for Field and Stream magazine nearly two decades, shares vivid narratives of encounters with various Pacific fish species, including the thrilling capture of an 8 foot pacific sailfish. The book is enriched with illustrations by Lynn Bogue Hunt and features endpaper charts of the Pacific Ocean, enhancing its appeal to both anglers and maritime enthusiasts.
