All fishermen will enjoy the many short stories about the many fishing activities explained in this book and will honestly learn something new about the sport in this book. Even someone who is a professional bass fisherman or a fisherman who has caught thousands of sturgeon or other fish, will find the frog gigging article or the spear fishing article entertaining and new to them. This book is a great coffee table book for both fishermen and hunters and a great conversation piece to have on every fishing book or or on every fishing trip. After all, who wants to sit and read a long book about catching trout besides the trout fishing fanatic? In this fishing book, if one type of fishing technique or fishing type is not of interest, the next fishing article very well will be a fishing story that will be fun for that person, making this fishing book the best bet for a gift for any fisherman or outdoorsman. This fishing book will allow every fisherman to enjoy other fishing activities that they might not have had the opportunity to enjoy as they visit areas away from their usual fishing locations. The abalone diving and spear fishing articles are some of the most in depth diving articles available gleaned from thousands of hours that the author has spent in the water pursuing these outdoor activities and include in-depth beginner and safety tips and techniques.
