Review
Darwin's Bass: The Evolutionary Psychology Of Fishing Man explores how fishing ties together the great web of life. Our toots as a fishing species go a long way toward explaining the attraction modern humans feel to the sport of fishing. If you or your loved one is a fisherman, Darwin's Bass offers a new understanding about the nature of a fisherman and why they do what they do. Darwin's Bass is replete with insight into the motivations that send men and women out onto the water. Darwin's Bass is a light-hearted, humorous, and uplifting approach to the philosophy of fishing. Another not-to-be-missed book is Paul Quinnett's Pavlov's Trout (05-8 $12. 95), which was the first book ever published about the psychology of fishing. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: Darwin's Bass: The Evolutionary Psychology of Fishing Man (Paperback)
Paul Quinnet uses his vast knowledge and experience in human pychology and fishing, to creat a facinating disortation. He uses his clinical experiences of human behavior and relates them to fishing life. This book is very difficult to explain to someone who has not read it. I found it very enjoyable to read and use some of his ideas every day. I can't believe that this book is rated so low on the sales scale. One should also read the sister to this book, Pavlovs Trout.
