More Than Just Fish: Finding Inspiration in Debra Gail Ross’s ‘Just For The Halibut’

“Just For The Halibut” by Debra Gail Ross is not just a thrilling tale of fishing adventures; it’s a story of courage, resilience, and the enduring power of family legacy. Born and raised in the charming fishing village of Gig Harbor, Washington, Debra carries the weight of her family’s history, a legacy that stretches back to her great-grandfather, John Samuel Ross, who emigrated from the Island of Premuda in 1887.

This deep-rooted connection to the sea, passed down through generations, has shaped Debra’s life and her unique perspective. Her book promises to offer readers not only a thrilling glimpse into the world of commercial fishing but also a deeper understanding of the human spirit, the importance of family, and the enduring connection between humanity and the natural world.
