Ellis by Andrew Joyce

From a rich tradition-from a fearless and audacious heritage-came forth a man who would be the embodiment of the Gloucester fisherman. Ellis Hodgkins caught his first bluefin tuna at the tender age of fourteen, using only a hand line. It weighed 750 pounds. He did by himself, fishing out of a ten-foot skiff. That feat earned him the title of Boy Wonder in and around Gloucester. For those who marvel at the deeds of the men of Wicked Tuna, Ellis did it all before those guys were born. This is the true story of one man's remarkable life-a life lived on its own terms.
Andrew Joyce left high school at seventeen to hitchhike throughout the US, Canada, and Mexico. He wouldn't return from his journey until decades later when he decided to become a writer. Joyce has written five books, including a two-volume collection of one hundred and forty short stories comprised of his hitching adventures called BEDTIME STORIES FOR GROWN-UPS (as yet unpublished), and his latest novel, YELLOW HAIR. He now lives aboard a boat in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with his dog, Danny, where he is busy working on his next book, tentatively entitled, MICK REILLY.
