Stories of Tahitian Waters describes Grey’s fishing expeditions to the Tahitian Islands during 1928, 1929, and 1930, where he statements to be the initial big-game fisherman to seafood these waters.

He came to this area after having passed close by about his other fishing vacations. Hearing accounts of there being marlin which were thirty ft lengthy and sharks that measured fifty feet long, he became determined to go after these seafood and increase his many angling records. It was right here where he describes getting a marlin weighing 1,040 pounds, as well as the catch was documented as the first 1,000-pound seafood ever caught.

In Tales of Tahitian Waters, Gray says that these were the most difficult waters he previously ever fished. However he claims a special devotion for these waters, and he visited them numerous occasions afterward.
