The Titans, Part III (Mingling with Mortals)


Gods be Gods no longer! Any passionate angler can identify with large collections of tackle- each item cherished, useful and even, memorable. Perhaps Zane could tell us a story connected with each and every rod and reel. What seems heroic to me is Zane Grey's actual efforts to assemble such an impressive aggregate for the camera! Can you identify with him and all those things? I surely can. This is the stuff of the passionate angler's life- it may not show the extent of his travels, but certainly some of its tools. Zane Grey has always been somewhat of a hero for me, because his desires for new and exciting angling adventures took him all around the world in his pursuits: fishing and traveling, such sources of joy, anticipation, and inspiration. Bonefish or marlin..it makes no difference: pursue that tail, just another minute, one more cast, do we have to stop? Give me all of that, and more!
