I went to S.I.R. last week and figured I should buy a book to further increase my knowledge on fishing skills. I cant believe how much i have allready learned with this book. It is very addicting as i read it about 1-2 hours aday. The book is called "The complete guide to freshwater fishing" published by the freshwater angler. It has every thing from equipment, skills, all about gamefish and how to catch 14 different fish, how to clean and even photo tips. I know that we are all pros on here LOL but for all you novice fishermen like myself I would suggest buying this book. It has 282 pages of solid gold material. I guess know its time to get me that big one.
