Big-game fishing is just one facet of a sport which incorporates everything from dropping a hand-line into a rock pool, to the graceful and refined art of freshwater fly-fishing. As anyone who has lived with an angler knows, their minds are always occupied with plans for the next fishing trip - if they are not recounting another endless tale of the "one that got away . . ."
This book provides a valuable source of information and knowledge on an area of fishing which is the dream of many anglers. Big-game fishing in the open sea is not for the faint-hearted, but for those who venture far out into the ocean currents in search of marlin, swordfish and the big tunas, there is the thrill of search and capture, the challenge of man against nature.
The informative text and striking illustrations detail the major big-game fish species, the tackle and equipment needed to catch them, and the design and function of the perfect deep-water boat. The book also highlights some of the big-game fishing centres of the world, and considers their potential for the ultimate game fishing experience.
