The Titans, Part Two: A Passionate Life!













Let's get back to the Titans, in exploring the results of their fishing and the collective effect of their guiding spirits on anglers today: Mike Lerner and Tommy Gifford with a swordfish taken from a small dory, Ernest with his first non-"apple-cored" tuna taken off the Bimini Banks, and Zane Grey "at one" with his adversary, no doubt a giant gamefish. Take a look at their faces or the ambience of the action of the moment- their involvement is complete. In all kinds of weather and conditions, these people pursued gamefish with a singularity of purpose, not because they wanted to, but had to! I think of the popular phrase that" you could take comfort in the fact you never had a choice!" when I marvel at these early pioneers.
