 Poorly written September 2, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
Not For Fisherman September 8, 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.
 Not a handbook July 1, 2005

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.
 Good Handbook September 18, 2003

As an "Hand Book" on Big Game fishing this is a very good book, and I would not hesitate recommending it to anyone.
