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 sports 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 seekerand the farm-pond kid in them allthis compilation makes a great gift for anyone who has ever “gone fishin,” or merely dreamed of doing so.

The most witty and insightful things ever said about anglers and their sport.
