3.0 out of 5 stars Some good information but poorly written, January 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Fish the Chair If You Dare: The Ultimate Guide to Giant Bluefin Tuna Fishing (Hardcover)

This book was a bit of a disappointment. While there was some good information in it, there was much too much boasting on the part of the author. It almost seems he is trying to sell his ideas and techniques. In addition, it was very poorly written. There is no evidence of any participation of an editor or professional writer. Poor sentence structure, including unfinished sentences abound. I give this three stars because the book provides information that is otherwise uncovered in books and also because there are some good photos.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book for Technique, not Entertainment, September 12, 2001

This review is from: Fish the Chair If You Dare: The Ultimate Guide to Giant Bluefin Tuna Fishing (Hardcover)

New to Giant Tuna, I have been searching for books/articles that describe this sport. This is the ONLY book that describes the fishing methods used by top charter boat captains for bluefin tuna fishing. If you are a tuna fisherman, buy this book.

If you are simply looking for an etertaining read, do not buy this book. It is poorly written and you may grow tired of the constant PENN, LEES, and ANDE commercials by the author.
