5.0 out of 5 stars A Book for Everyone, June 2, 2004

By A Customer

Young or old, large or small, male or female, this is a book that will please, delight, and inspire anyone who has ever baited a hook in anticipation of catching that lunker whether in fresh or salt water.
Some stories made me howl with laughter, and a few caused tears, but all are uplifting and made me want to read more.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book brought back a flood of wonderful memories, June 2, 2004

By A Customer

From the day my Dad first took me fishing to that first really huge catch that somehow transformed me from a wannabe to a real live honest to god fisherman. A great gift for those who fish, used to fish, or plan to take it up.
