Book Overview
From the 2.4-million-copy bestselling series that defines pastimes from sailing to gardening to computers, "Fishing" is a comprehensive compilation of angling words and phrases-from hook (an irritating but highly reliable device used to quickly locate one's thumb at the bottom of the tackle box) to line (length of filament stretched between two fishing rods and joined approximately at its midpoint by a pair of linked hooks) to sinker (a lead weight attached to the end of a fishing line to facilitate the safe disposal in deep water of unwanted lures). Plus, learn why chicken is the tuna of the sea, and the true meaning of terms such as rod and reel, fly-tying, trolling, and dribble. Every member of the pier group will bite. Over 522,000 copies in print.

Funny fishing book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
"This book is hilarious! I was flipping through it and had a few good laughs out loud while reading some of the "definitions". The one on the front is indicative of some of the better ones. A short one: "zzzzzzz" is: (1) Sound made by a patient angler waiting for a bite; (2) Sound made by an insect about to deliver one." The book itself is about 4" x 4" and about an inch thick, about 280 pages, and scattered with great little drawings here and there. I'm not a fisherman, but my father and both my brothers are, so I can relate. I bought this for one of my brothers, and recommend it for any fisherman you're fond of.
