Interesting Zane Grey Documentary on YouTube

Post by Mike N »

A discussion of Grey’s (born Pearl Zane Gray) passion for deep sea fishing (with photos of his tackle) starts at the 32:52 mark but the entire documentary is worth watching.

Thanks for supplying the link, Mike. An interesting watch. I felt kind of bad for his wife but she should have walked away early on. I guess sticking around was a sign of the times back in those days. He sure slid down my respect Totem Pole, though. Weird life style, for sure. :loco:
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)
