Author Biography
Peter Goadby ranks among the world's leading big game anglers. A successful competitor, Peter has held world records and is renowned not only for his big game expertise but his ability to pass on his knowledge to other enthusiastic anglers. He has fished extensively in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States and has competed successfully against many of the world's best anglers in international tournaments in Hawaii, Tahiti, New Zealand, Nova Scotia and Australia. He has been appointed to overseas tournament boards, has acted as chief judge of the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament since 1970 and is an honorary member of many national fishing associations including Japan, France, Belgium and New Zealand. He is also a representative of the International Game Fish Association.
Peter Goadby is a conservationist and, with his close associate John O'Brien, is acknowledged as an initiator of, and a driving force behind, the successful trend to tag and release in Australia, Hawaii and other areas of the Pacific. In 1990 the International Game Fish Association recognized his contribution with a Conservation Award.
Peter Goadby has written extensively for fishing magazines, in particular Angler's Digest and Fishing News, and for the International Game Fish Association Annual since 1953. He is also the author of three outstanding books, the best known being Big Fish and Blue Water, now in its fifth edition.
