The Real Captain Norm Isaacs

An autobiography spanning eighty years and still going strong, fishing being one of the few constants throughout from childhood to present day--along the way, there was time spent with professional baseball and a hitch in the United States Air Force. Postmilitary family business experience opened the door to general aviation. Virtually, every facet got involved. Flight instruction, corporate, smuggling, and undercover for the DEA all played a part. Between flights, taking fishing charters out of South Texas scratched the fishing itch. Eventually, fishing charters became full-time, and the operation got moved to Kona, Hi. Television shows on big game fishing filmed worldwide was slotted in during the twenty-five years in Hawaii. At various stages, great and sometimes unimaginable things happened, a certain degree of success on the upside with addiction, murder, and cancer playing a part of the downside tapestry.
