REVIEWS:
?Crunch and Des, the heroes of these stories, chase sailfish, tarpon, barracuda, sharks, and even giant jewfish, and their adventures inspired generations of followers. The plain truth is: they don?t write ?em like this anymore.??Tom Paugh, Sports Afield
?Having missed these warm-hearted stories the first time around is to have missed knowing a wonderful part of a far less cynical America where the good guy won and the future was boundless.?
?Jerry Gibbs, Outdoor Life magazine
