Customer Reviews

Really enjoyable reading!

Having known something of Bob Rich from my wife's meeting him at work numerous times I was compelled to read his book when it came to my attention. I was captured by the book in the first few pages. It was the old " couldn't put it down" story. It was the first book I have read cover to cover in 30 years. Upon finishing the book you realize it's every bit as much about fishing people as it is about catching fish. I certainly hope Bob Rich writes another book, as his easy going story telling style just makes you want to run down to the Keys and go fishing!!

A great Book

I run a small deli here on the East Side in Manhattan New York. I haven't been to the ocean in 35 years let alone go fishing. I was intrested by the cover of this book and was even more intrigued when I read the back cover. It was a wonderful book I enjoyed Bubba's honesty and story telling. It read like a song.

Successful Quest

I've known Bob (Bubba) all my life and this is just another example of the success he's had at whatever he tries. His book will be interesting for all people, those into fishing and those as myself who are not. Bob's story telling is great and I enjoyed the book from beginning to end. His conservation efforts should be applauded. Hope he finds time to write some more.

Fish This!

My long-time pal gives us a slightly irreverent, but very poignant look at the important role fishing has played in shaping his life philosophy. Bob uses the Met hall of Fame quest for 10 species of fish to spin some wonderful yarns about his exploits, while at the same time giving the readers a good glimpse of his soul. This is a well organized story with many interesting anecdotes, encounters and discoveries along the way.It should appeal not only to the fishing crowd, but also to anyone who enjoys the great outdoors and man's encounters with nature. I am proud and grateful to have participated in a small way in "Bubba's" quest. Give this book a try! I promise you'll like it!
