Excellent

A pleasure to read! Could not put the book down!

Great Book, highly recommended!!!

This has got to be one of the best books I have ever read! Tom Mann is the American Dream. He came from a dirt poor family (had holes in their log cabin, in which they had thrown a cat through, and even had snow on top of them after it snowed at night). He has invented lures for many years, selling them out of his house when he worked at a mill, and then as a game warden. He has invented many great lures, and then went on to invent the Hummingbird Fish Finder, another great product. He has made millions, by providing lures and fish finders to many people through the world. This is a great book for anyone intersted in Tom Mann, fishing, or even in owning your own business. He tells how he made millions, got on top of his game, and then lost so much after the death of his brother, only to regain much of his fortune again! This book should be required reading for any business class. I hope you enjoy this as well as I did.

Think Like a Fish

This book is the most entertaining book I have read all year. It was co-written by the world's number one seling biography writer, Tom Carter. Carter makes the book flow like a stream that starts out as a trickle and ends up in a roar at the ocean. He is truely one of my favorite co-writers. I have always wanted to know about Tom Mann's life and this book tells the most awesome chronilogical events of Mann's life and how he became the world's number one fisherman. I was in a book store when a lady told me about it. She bought six at one time for father's day gifts. I also heard Tom Mann was coming out with another book on how to fish next year for the beginning fisherman. This book has something for everyone, from how a man became a millionaire to how he raised his family and became a legend at the same time, while showing the genius of this man thru laughter and sorrow. I loved it. I can't wait for his next book.
