A master fisherman: Jack from Bluff by Ross Cantrick

摘要

Jack Cantrick has a rare claim to fame in New Zealand's rich fishing history.As a 15-year-old fresh from school he skippered a fishing boat at Bluff and over 70 years later he was still fishing, in his own boat chasing tuna off the west coast.That almost certainly made him both the youngest and the oldest skipper of a fishing boat in this country.Cantrick's remarkable story is detailed by his cousin Ross Cantrick, who has done the fishing industry a service in capturing characters and a way of life before they fade from memory.
