Description: Stronger, faster and better fighters than their freshwater cousins, most saltwater game fish have enough spark and power to give even the most salt-washed angler a thrill. This exciting new book covers every aspect of saltwater fishing so you'll know where the fish will be, when they're feeding and, most importantly, exactly how to catch them. This is the most authoritative handbook available on saltwater fishing in North America. With advice on everything from tackle, rods and reels, to fishing techniques, choosing the right lures and tying knots, this book also provides expert advice on each species of fish including its habitat, range, average weight, IGFA record statistics, distinguishing marks and more. Al Ristori has fished over half a century for everything from sunfish to one thousand pound giant tuna, and still puts in over 200 days a year at sea or on the beach--catching fish! In October 2001, Ristori won the first Sport Fishing World Champion Cup in Japan. As of 2002, he held the IGFA world records for leather bass, sea raven, and round whitefish. Some top catches include the first "grander" in New Jersey: a 1,022-pound giant tuna; a 405-pound mako shark on bluefish tackle and 30-pound mono; and a 61-pound striped bass plus a dozen more over 50 pounds.
