About the Author

Captain Bill Harrison began his fishing career in Miami and the Bahamas in the early sixties. He became interesting in releasing and tagging marlin after he first fished off the island of St. Thomas. In 1986, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded him for the largest number of blue marlins ever tagged by a single captain.

Harrison has fished all over the world: the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, Sea of Cortez, Pacific Ocean, and Indian Ocean. He has enjoyed his 12 trips to lower Africa, the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Cabo San Lucas, El Salvador, Ecuador, the Galapagos, Columbia, and Venezuela.

Harrison believes fervently in the tagging and release of fish like the giant bluefin tuna and the many species of marlin.
