Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Jack Samson, renowned saltwater angler and former editor of Field & Stream, shares his experiences from traveling in a realm of the fishing world practically unmapped before the 1970s: big-game fly-fishing. Taking a billfish on the fly might be just about the most exotic way to fish, and Samson reveals many of his methods and memories from this adrenaline-fueled sport.

5.0 out of 5 stars covers the sport entirely., March 28, 1999
By A Customer
I caught the largest billfish of my life on a fly which was 402 pound blue marlin off coast of NORTH CAROLINA. Your techniques help be bagged one and release it back to its environment.
