BEST SELLING

1950's color silent home movie. The fellas enjoy a fantastic inshore fishing trip in Loreto (Mexico) waters for inshore species ... Yellowtail, Grouper and Sierra Macs. One of the anglers in it looks very familiar, especially near the end of the film, like an actor of the day. I thought at first it was a young Glenn Ford but have had trouble convincing people of that. The actor is featured in at least one or two other films I have. Let me know if you know who it is.

A one of a kind roll of film. I obtained this at least 20 years ago. It had a piece of old masking tape on the can, with the title "Home Movie Fishing South America". It sat around in my pile of un-viewed films for two decades before I slapped it on to the projector one day. As soon as I saw the opening frames I knew exactly what it was. It's raw unedited "b roll" or backup footage shot the day Alfred C Glassell caught his IGFA World Record Black Marlin in 1954. Perhaps they used this footage in the production film "The Great Marlin" which Glassell jr produced after catching that fish, or perhaps the greyhounding marlin shots were used in the Movie "Old Man and the Sea". Either way, it's a one of a kind piece of fishing history. I have already posted the aforementioned film.

1960's color sound short film. Scenes around parts of Ireland, where the fellas target Northern Pike with spoon lures. Snappy music in this film, will keep your fingers snapping. Maybe not.
