A while back I was involved in a thread on the Internet discussing bass books. Several of the participants agreed that Bass Fishing Fundamentals was one of the best, if not the best, bass book ever published. Those anglers will be happy because here is a newly revised version of that book. It has been extensively rewritten, new photos added, and has all new illustrations. He begins with a short chapter on bass habitat and follows that with one on bass biology. Included is coverage of the different types of lures and how to fish them. Boats, rods, reels, and line are all here, along with playing, landing and releasing bass, and fishing in vegetation. Schultz has covered it all, including a chapter on taking the big one. He ended the Bass strike motivation section with this great thought:

Bass are not high-class jewel thieves. They are thugs, the street toughs of the underwater world. Their nature is to be compulsively aggressive. They are repeat offenders, unreformable. And it is this aspect of their feeding behavior that so endears them to anglers.

If it is possible for a book to contain everything you need to know to catch bass, this could be it

I've been reading a lot of bass fishing books lately and this one is mediocre, especially compared to the author's work on trolling. His book The Art of Trolling is excellent, especially if you're interested in downriggers.

This book is too bore to read. Hard to understand (maybe I am dumb) and unclear pictures. Too few pictures & not to mention all of them are black & white. A good fishing book should have many color picture or photo, it can helps you understand easier and better. There are many better & cheaper fishing books in the market to buy. This is the book that you won't want to 'LOOK' at it for a second time.
