Publisher's Note Offers reflections on the successes and failures of fishing, and on how the sport affects the rest of one's life.
Industry Reviews "'A jerk on one end of a line waiting for a jerk on the other,' is the classic folk definition of fishing that explains the title of Robert Hughes' witty testimonial to the sport....Hughes...manages to convey why not only he but also many other human beings are happy to make jerks of themselves pursuing fish."
