What Fish Don't Want You to Know: The Insider's Guide to Freshwater Fishing Book

I found this book to be practical, coherent, well written and often funny. For the novice you learn some basic but critical stuff that, if you never had a dad or uncle show you, it's doubtful you'd have a clue about. I learned about fishing mostly from trial and error and a tip here and there from a friend who knew (slightly) more than me. I could have been catching lots more fish if I had read this book much sooner. It's slimmer than a "Dummies" Book and more personal, both pluses. I'm sure Baron didn't give away all of his secrets (certainly not his secret spot on his secret lake) but he definitely shared plenty. Besides all kinds of info on lures, bodies of water, gear, etc., he also includes some sound opinions on safety and our responsibility as fishermen to handle fish in a way that doesn't harm them or the environment. He's absolutely right too, that we all need to get outdoors more and fishing is a great excuse to do it.
