"There can be no doubt, Sancho," he said, "that this is going to be a great and perilous adventure in which it will be necessary to display all my strength and valor." -- Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote. "When Bob "Bubba" Rich decided to embark upon his own quest -- to qualify for the Metropolitan South Florida Fishing Tournament Hall of Fame -- it's possible he didn't realize the amount of strength and valor he would need to accomplish his goals. By the time it all was over, he had indeed exhibited as much strength, valor, patience, and fortitude as any angler could muster. The task at hand proved to be that difficult. Consider his goals: To take ten species of gamefish, on very specific types of tackle, with difficult to achieve minimum weight requirements: a twenty-five pound barracuda, twenty-pound permit, twenty-five-pound dolphinfish, blue or white marlin (any size, but on light line), twenty-five-pound wahoo, nine-pound bonefish, sailfish of any weight (again, on light line), six-pound largemouth bass, hundred-pound tarpon (on a fly, of couurse), and, finally, an eighteen-pound snook. Fish with Rich as he probes the waters of south Florida and the Bahamas, searching for the ten species that will gain him entrance to the Hall of Fame. Enjoy the incredible heights he feels when finally catching a fish that qualifies; share with him the unfathomable lows when things go wrong, and he just can't catch a break on some of the gamefish. Through it all, you'll get to know Bubba, his family, his friends, and the many anglers and guides he meets along the way. In the end, you'll have joined his fishing fraternity, and will be hoping that he'll soon head off on another quest -- taking you along." ABOUT THE AUTHOR: With a passion for pursuing saltwater fish from his home in Islamorada in the Florida Keys, business executive Bob Rich is president of Rich Products Corporation -- a multinational, family-owned manufacturer and distributor of food products headquartered in Buffalo, New York. His charitable activities include fundraising for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. This is his first book. Signed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Jeffrey Cardenas (Jacket photograph) and Charles S (illustrator). First Printing [Stated]. 24 cm. xiv, [2], 278, [2] pages. Illustrations. Inscribed by the author on the fep. Inscription reads July, 1991 To Irma, "This is the extended" version of my story. I Love you! Eugene Mercury Morris. The former football player for the Miami Dolphins recounts his battle with post-football financial disaster, cocaine addiction, incapacitating medical problems, and a conviction for hyped-up drug charges that he fought all the way to State Supreme Court. Eugene Edward "Mercury" Morris (born January 5, 1947) is a former American football running back and kick returner. He played for seven years, primarily for the Miami Dolphins, in the American Football League (AFL) as a rookie in 1969, then in the American Football Conference (AFC) following the 1970 merger with the National Football League (NFL). Morris played in three Super Bowls, winning twice, and was selected to three Pro Bowls. In 1982, Morris was convicted of felony drug trafficking charges. After three and a half years in prison, he was released after a plea agreement in which he pleaded no contest to cocaine conspiracy charges. Morris finished in the top five of the NFL in rushing touchdowns twice and total touchdowns once during his eight-year career. His career 5.1 yard per carry average was third all time among NFL players (1st among half backs) behind just fullbacks Jim Brown and Marion Motley. Morris' career kickoff return average of 26.5 was in the top 10 at the time of his retirement. In 1974, Morris co-starred as Bookie Garrett in the blaxploitation film The Black Six alongside other football stars of the day. Derived from a Kirkus review: When Eugene "Mercury" Morris retired from the National Football League in 1976, he left with $250,000 in the bank, two homes, two cars, and the second best yards-per-carry average among running backs in N.F.L. history. Six years later, after financial failure and a heavy cocaine habit, Morris was arrested for drug trafficking, convicted, and sentenced to a minimum mandatory 15-year sentence. In 1986, his conviction was overturned by the Florida Supreme Court after his attorneys successfully argued that the state had entrapped Morris in the deal. Here, with the help of attorney-turned-sportswriter Fiffer, Morris sets out to clear both his name and his reputation. In many ways, Morris' story is a familiar one: economic underprivilege overcome by athletic prowess led to an outstanding football career at West Texas State, and later to fame and glory with the Super Bowl champion Miami Dolphins. But Morris' penchant for fast cars and fast women caught up with him. Recklessness, he admits, made him vulnerable to the drug sting.
