    About this ebook

    Daniel's favorite thing to do is fish with his grandpa. But when his grandfather passes away, all that Daniel has left are stories of Big Larry, the monster fish Grandpa spent his life chasing. Daniel decides to try to catch Big Larry in honor of his grandpa. But can he land the biggest catch of his life, or will he let Big Larry get away?

    Jake Maddox

    Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler – or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps – literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.

      Legend of the Lure - Jake Maddox

      CHAPTER 1

      FISH STORIES

      Daniel smiled as he leaned back in the boat. This was a great day.

      He was right where he wanted to be, sitting in Grandpa Carl’s fishing boat. They were out in the middle of Lake Werner. It was Daniel’s favorite place to be.

      He’d been there many times before. Every summer for almost all fifteen years of Daniel’s life, Grandpa Carl had taken Daniel fishing any time he wanted.

      Just about every Saturday morning, rain or shine, Grandpa Carl would be at the door. He’d wait for Daniel to come out. They’d hop in the truck. Then they’d drive to the dock. There, Daniel would help his grandpa get the boat into the water.

      They’d spend most of the morning together on the lake. They’d catch as many fish as they could.

      They hardly ever ended up keeping the fish they caught, though. It’s a lot more fun to catch ‘em than it is to eat ‘em, Grandpa Carl would say.

      Then he’d unhook a fish and send it over the side. The fish could swim back to freedom.

      Daniel loved everything about fishing. He wasn’t sure what his favorite part was.

      He loved feeling the tug of a fish at the end of the line. He loved putting bait on the hook. And he really loved battling with a big fish until he brought it into the boat.

      The stories that Grandpa Carl told were almost as good as the real thing. And sometimes, they were better.

      Grandpa’s best stories were always about two things. First, he loved to tell Daniel all about the annual Lake Werner Fishing Tournament. He also loved to tell stories about Big Larry.

      Big Larry was
