Years in the making, this is a fisherman's treasury, a new classic from Fred Buller. It contains the dates, weights and detailed catch history of every recorded Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) over 50lb landed in Europe and North America, whether on the fly, by rod or other means. Each of the case histories is entertainingly told, with plenty of background information, and most feature original photographs of the catches, their locations and the fishermen. All the cases have been carefully examined, and details double-checked for accuracy. Also included are sections on: tales of lost fish, Salmon fishing in Norway, big salmon caught in Finland and Sweden, the decline of the River Rhine, total of salmon caught weighing over 60 lb since 1700, the top twelve giant salmon caught on fly since the end of World War-II and Captain Tinkler's 51lb Tweed salmon.

Well worth the $$$,
By Cena (Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Domesday Book of Giant Salmon (Hardcover)
My husband is an avid fisherman and thought he'd never get his hands on a copy. I found one at Amazon and he is thrilled with it. Thank you.
1.0 out of 5 stars
Deeply disappointed.,
By Raincheck Debauchee (LA, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Domesday Book of Giant Salmon (Hardcover)
Not with the book, but with the seller, Daily Deals USA (actually based out the Uk, I believe.) They sent me a reprint rather than the advertised first edition, then refused to refund me the return shipping cost even though they had promised in advance that they would. Do not buy from Daily Deals, they are lying crooks. Did not read the book.
