John Hemingway, grandson of the world-renowned author Ernest Hemingway, will be trolling the same Gulf Stream waters next month as his famous grandfather, whose fishing exploits aboard his beloved "Pilar" helped put this tiny Bahamas out island on the global map in the 1930s.
Ernest Hemingway was an early apostle to the Bimini experience in the 1930s, where he drank, brawled and wrote his way through several fishing seasons, traveling back and forth between home in Key West and his beloved "Island in the Stream."  
His creative workshop was the Compleat Angler and his characterisations came from a world populated by giant blue marlin, bluefin tuna and schools of sharks almost too large to count.  With his literary acclaim and sporting prowess, Hemingway, together with countless other kindred spirits, established Bimini as the 'Big Game Fishing Capital of the World' -- home today to some 50 world record catches and counting.
