Readers Say...
"I am ordering one book to give a friend for his birthday and your two new ones. I have all of the Bass Series Library except one. I have followed your writings for
years and consider them the best of the best!" - J. V. Cataula, GA
"Thanks for sending me a copy of your very nice peacock bass book. It looks great. I am ordering 4 additional copies of the peacock book for my graduate students
and Venezuelan collaborator. I have two students stationed at Lake Guri and two stationed at the Rio Cinaruco doing research on the fish." -- K. W. Texas A&M Univ. Dept. of Fisheries,
College Station, TX
"Your book, "Peacock Bass Explosions", got me excited about fishing again. It's tremendous! I'm catching lots of peacocks between 4 and 5 pounds in
South Florida. And to think, I quit fishing for 5 years until I read your book. It is getting a lot of people out fishing again. We thank you!" -- R. R. Hialeah, FL
"On a peacock trip to South America in January, one of our thoughtful members had a copy of your book. Since only two of us had ever fished for peacocks before, we
pored over your book for advice on fishing strategies. It was kind of comical, learning to fish by book WHILE FISHING. We were all successful that week, catching peacock up to 19.5
pounds, and I caught 5 bigger than 14 pounds. The peacock is a fantastic fish! As a life long Alaskan, I think they even exceed salmon for their aggressive striking." -- C. J. S.
Girdwood, AK
"I thought I had exhausted every avenue of information and had come up empty-handed on peacock fishing, until I stumbled upon your book at the library. Unlike other
books of this nature, I was delighted to find that yours provided the detail I was looking for. You will enable my obsessive fisherman friend and I to actually plan on such a trip and feel
assured that we have an understanding, not only of the fish we're pursuing, but of the geography, logistics, necessary equipment and techniques to make it successful." -- S. O'B.
Minneapolis, MN
"It is a small world. A friend who I had taken fishing on the Cinaruco last month had a copy of your book, Peacock Bass Explosions. The chapters on Brazil
brought back memories of my trips there. You are the only person I know who knew the technique of using big spoons for peacocks. We used to take a 12 foot boat and small Archimedes motor,
a 120 pound test line and a foot-long spoon with a large single hook. When the boat was on a plane, the hook stayed straight up and would run without snagging. Those d___ peacocks would
hit that spoon in full flight and almost take the guy on the other end of the line over the stern. I agree with your comments that peacocks are the top freshwater fish pound for pound. I
really enjoyed your book and have enclosed a check for two more for a couple of buddies." -- C. S. Beaufort, SC
"We wanted to give you special thanks for the excellent resource book used for reference in our two "Good Fishing" TV show segments on the peacock bass." --
R. E., Babe Winkleman Productions, Nisswa, MN
"Thanks for sending me the Peacock Bass Explosions book, but I gave it away to a friend. So my check is enclosed for another for me and a second one for another
buddy. I have two other friends that will be ordering a copy, one a biologist with Texas Parks & Wildlife." -- W. C. Austin, TX
"I've just arrived for a one month vacation in the States and bought your "Peacock Bass Explosions". As a Brazilian angler, I am familiar with tucunare
and have fished for it all over Brazil. After seeing those monsters you caught in South America, I had to write you in a hurry. Until today, my biggest tucunare weighed only 8 pounds, and
I need to catch one over 15 pounds badly. Your book is very instructive and should help me catch that big one. It'll have a permanent place in my library. I hope someday our
paths will cross in the Amazon!" -- P. D. S. Rio de Janeiro, BRAZIL
"Just finished reading your great "Peacock Bass & Other Fierce Exotics"!! I just want you to know that your writings and knowledge are an
inspiration to sportsmen who hope to 'pass the torch' to their children." -- E. J. Hendersonville, NC
