Editorial Reviews

Review

“Bob Rich is one of the truly great fishermen I know. He is a skilled angler for all kinds of fish. But equally important he has great respect for fisheries. Bob is a true sportsman and a wonderful, warm human being. I love reading his books and am proud to call him ‘friend.’”--George Herbert Walker Bush

“Reading Bob Rich on fishing is as much fun as being there. No one is better at translating our passion for the sport into words.”--Captain Ted Lund, editor of Fly Fishing in Salt Waters

“Bob Rich has four wonderful attributes. He’s a great angler, a great storyteller, a great writer and last, but not least, a great gentleman whom we all admire.”--Stu Apte, IGFA Hall of Fame Angler

“If Bob asks, ‘Did I tell you about that big fish I caught?’ Say what I say: ‘No, and I appreciate it.’”--Bill Dance, Hall of Fame Bass Master

“Bob Rich is our modern-day Hemingway and the only fellow I know who claims to have released the world-record sailfish caught on fly.” –Johnny Morris, Bass Pro Shops

“A man’s approach to fishing says a lot about his approach to life… Bob is gentle and generous spirited man in both.”--John Bailey, author of John Bailey’s Complete Guide to Fly Fishing

"Who we are and why we fish is defined by balancing an insatiable passion with the good, the bad, and the ugly. Bob Rich's The Fishing Club has captured it all." --Andy Mill, Five-time Gold Cup Champion
 

From the Back Cover

Bob Rich may very well be the Don Quixote of fishing, always on a quest for the most memorable experiences on the water. His first book, Fish Fights, followed his attempt to qualify for membership in the Metropolitan South Florida Fishing Hall of Fame. In The Fishing Club, he expands his geography worldwide, and the result is a delightful and inspiring chronicle about his search to discover what drives all anglers in their hunt for fish.
A former president of the United States (George Herbert Walker Bush), a Hall of Fame slugger (Ted Williams), the world’s most famous bass fisherman (Bill Dance), and an Olympic skier (Andy Mill) are just a few of the friends Bob enlists to help in his search. Interesting people and passionate anglers all, they share with a fishing buddy their first memories of fishing, reflections on what impact the sport has had on their lives, and why they love to fish.
Their stories, as told to an ardent and articulate brother of the angle, make The Fishing Club a very special book and an enjoyable read. Through it all, you’ll feel part of the fishing fraternity that includes Bob, his friends, and the many anglers he meets on his journey around the fresh and salt waters of the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars To Fish is to Dream..., July 27, 2006
This review is from: The Fishing Club: Brothers and Sisters of the Angle (Hardcover)
Not that author Bob Rich asked, but to me fishing is about dreams: the dream of catching a fish, and the dream about it after I do.

"The Fishing Club" set me to dreaming about fishing past and future through his cast of famous (and near famous) anglers. Rich's characterizations of the fisherfolk and their fishing DNA is fresh and thoughtful stuff, hence this new book is a very enjoyable read.

Enjoyable enough, in fact, for me to hope for more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fishing Club, May 30, 2006
This review is from: The Fishing Club: Brothers and Sisters of the Angle (Hardcover)
Really cool book. I was intriqued by the different backgrounds and stories of the fisherman profiled. It really hits home how universally loved fishing really is. Bob seems to be able to capture the essence of each of the anglers. There is hope for us amatuers afterall!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fishing stste of mind, May 14, 2006
This review is from: The Fishing Club: Brothers and Sisters of the Angle (Hardcover)
Even for someone who has not experienced the types of adventures and fishing challenges so smartly written about in this book, it gives the reader a wonderful insight into the intrigue and excitement of this sport. Bob Rich's love of fishing and wonderful stories about his friends and their enthusiam for angling makes this a great read. The author's creative talents shine brightly in his lastest book.
