We wore out an old copy of this book and are very glad to have the whole book again. We do lots of deepsea fishing and occasionally catch something we aren't sure of. Pictures are perfect replications and love the "food value" reviews as well as the recdommendations for catching.

We got this book so that we would know what we were catching and how well it ate. Great pictures. Only problem is knowing where to start looking without having to search the whole book...

If you ever caught a fish and didnt know what it was and brought it home to find out it isnt worth eating - you should have had this book on your boat. This book has no knots or rigs but it helps ID all kinds of fish. It tells range and food preferences and other info. The fish are grouped by type making it easy to find fast enough that you might be able to let it go. For example - It has 24 sharks with color pics and ranges and descriptions. It is so much better than the laminated cards I have and I have a lot of those. This is like the Sibley Guide to birds but for fish. I put my copy in a ziplock bag and will bring it when I fish. The pages are not waterproof but they are shiny and strong. For $13 it is a great deal.

My 6 year old nephew has this book and loves it! He sits and looks at the pictures for hours. And now he is even able to identify the different fish by name. The pictures are colorful, very detailed and easy to understand. I recommend this book for the entire family. It is fun and educational for everyone at any age!
