'The Fishing Fanatic' draws on the rich history of sayings, witticisms, and boasts uttered by practitioners and observers alike, from ancient to modern times. With memorable lines from other cultures, to the notions of poets and rogues, the sport’s leading figures and relative unknowns give their insights into why this sport creates such fanatical devotion. For the fly fisher, bass tournament wannabe, shark hunter, saltwater record seeker—and the farm-pond kid in them all—this compilation makes a great gift for anyone who has ever “gone fishin’,” or merely dreamed of doing so.
