The material for the novel comes from a real story: an old man fishing alone at sea. He caught a big fish and tied its head and upper body to the side of the boat. However, he encountered sharks. The old man fought the sharks with all his might, but the sharks ate all the meat they could reach. As a result, the big fish was left with less than half of its body, yet it still weighed around 800 pounds.
