5.0 out of 5 stars
A fun read
I enjoyed the many adventures shared by the author. Reminds me of why I love the open ocean and all it has too offer. No, it's not a how too book for idiots but how many more of those do we need. If you're a true boater, definitely worth your while.

Not so much Pursuit of the Grander as writers travel diary
An entertaining book, although the title is a little misleading. This isn't about one persons dogged pursuit of a 1000lb Marlin but a diary of trips where the author is asked to captain or share the boats of the world's moneyed anglers. The narrative jumps a little and you can lose track as to when he is referring his accounts. The book was not proof read very well as the...

Not so much Pursuit of the Grander as writers travel diary,
By "fishydean" (Kent, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pursuit of the Grander (Hardcover)
An entertaining book, although the title is a little misleading. This isn't about one persons dogged pursuit of a 1000lb Marlin but a diary of trips where the author is asked to captain or share the boats of the world's moneyed anglers. The narrative jumps a little and you can lose track as to when he is referring his accounts. The book was not proof read very well as the grammar leaves something to be desired at times and can make you go over a sentence a couple of times. These gripes aside, the book is an enjoyable read to anyone interested in the world of big game fishing and this type of book makes a refreshing change to the 'how to' manuals. Bring the price down a bit though!

Not what I was expecting,

This review is from: Pursuit of the Grander (Hardcover)
I enjoyed reading this book. But I strongly agree with one of the other reviewers that the title to the book is misleading. I expected the book to be a quest on the part of the author to tag and release a marlin weighing more than 1,000 pounds. Instead, it is a collection of the author's stories of fishing tournaments and boat deliveries with bluewater fishing mixed in with the delivery. There are a few tales of grander marlin mixed in.
The book reads almost like one is reading Mr. Elias' journal. Hard core billfish anglers like myself will enjoy this book, but I would not expect it to have appeal beyond this group.
