Product Description
100 color photos 8 x 11 * Guide to big-game saltwater species, tackle, techniques, boats, destinations * Beautifully illustrated in full color

This large, handsome reference contains everything the aspiring big-game angler needs to prepare for marlin, sailfish, tuna, sharks and dozens more saltwater species.

Comprehensive in scope, it includes a brief history of the sport, profiles of all the main species, explanation of big-game tackle, bait, and equipment-including boats-and a guide to the big-game fishing centers of the world, featuring a two-page world map. Whether you're planning a trip or just dreaming, this book is a treasure.

Len Cacutt, a lifelong fisherman, is author of the Collins Encyclopedia of Fishing, British Freshwater Fishes, and several other fishing titles. He lives in Surrey, England.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly written, September 2, 2006
This book was a disappointment. It contains some basic information but very little of use for anyone other than a novice. Worse, many of the captions and passages are just plain wrong.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not For Fisherman, September 7, 2005
A waste of money if you are looking for a serious book about Big Game fishing. The section entitled 'Playing The Fish' extends fully to all of one-half of one page! If you don't know which end of the rod to hold, this book is for you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a handbook, June 30, 2005
By R. C. PLEGER (Mulegé, Baja California Sur) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book is not a handbook, Wonderful photos and discriptions but this book belongs on a coffie table, not on a boat as a handbook.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Handbook
As an "Hand Book" on Big Game fishing this is a very good book, and I would not hesitate recommending it to anyone.
