Tales
of the Ultimate Sportsmen
Jon Hedin and Tim Worel have been friends and fishing partners for
over 20 some years. One year while fishing the Mississippi River
early one spring, Jon caught a 5-pound bass. As he was practicing
the art of catch and release the big bass accidentally hit Tim smack
in the middle of his head. Well, Tim had thought about publishing
average folk stories before that little shakeup, but it's a fact
that since then Tim never stopped trying to convince Jon that writing
true life hunting and fishing stories was the best idea since rubber
worms. After awhile the pen and paper came out of Jon's pocket and
the boys got real serious (well, as serious as two guys can get
while catching a few hundred fish and trying to write everything
down on a piece a paper in a shaky boat). So anyway, that explains
how that idea had originally got started. Now, years later, Tim
and Jon released their first book -- a collection of true life hunting
and fishing stories from around the world. Some funny, some with
a lot of action, and some stories about being in the right place
at the right time. With the creation of the Worldwide Web, The Ultimate
Sportsmen is a possible host to more than 60 million readers. The
Ultimate Sportsmen is always in search of strange or exciting (or
both) fishing and hunting tales that will be published in print
and in data form via our Web page. This is a great opportunity for
the average sports person to tell his or her own true life hunting
or fishing story to the world, as well as read about the adventures
of other sports persons. If you have a story that needs to be told,
and you want to get a little famous (as well as receive a cool T-shirt),
go ahead and send it in. If you want to read about caribou hunting
in Alaska, wild boar hunting in Hawaii, trout fishing in Texas,
and other hunting and fishing stories check out the rest of this
site. From all of us here at Tales of the Ultimate Sportsmen,
Thank you for making this site a success.
