1.0 out of 5 stars
Poorly written,
This review is from: Big-Game Fishing Handbook (Paperback)
This book was a disappointment. It contains some basic information but very little of use for anyone other than a novice. Worse, many of the captions and passages are just plain wrong.

Not For Fisherman,
By Bahamas Fisherman "Reel Return" (bahamas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Big-Game Fishing Handbook (Paperback)
A waste of money if you are looking for a serious book about Big Game fishing. The section entitled 'Playing The Fish' extends fully to all of one-half of one page! If you don't know which end of the rod to hold, this book is for you.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Big-Game Fishing Handbook (Paperback)
The book is not a handbook, Wonderful photos and discriptions but this book belongs on a coffie table, not on a boat as a handbook.
