Customer Reviews

This book is sure to apeal to more than fishermen.

Well done short stories that do make you laugh and cry. Soothing, yet inspiring. More than one of the stories took me back to a time in my life.

Chicken Soup for the Fisherman's Soul

This is a great read for anyone who responds to the human condition, set in the context of fishing. The huge collection of bite-sized essays will take you from tears to laughter. The stories from well known people will show sides of them you probably didn't know. The stories by less well known writers will endear you to them as new friends. I have enjoyed this book from cover to cover and return to many stories again and again. I have only put the book down to reach for my fishing rod! When I'm done with the day's fishing, I'm ready to "Play it again, Sam"

This book brought back a flood of wonderful memories

From the day my Dad first took me fishing to that first really huge catch that somehow transformed me from a wannabe to a real live honest to god fisherman. A great gift for those who fish, used to fish, or plan to take it up.

If You Like to Fish, Feast on This

If you like to fish, this is a book you'll want to savor slowly so it'll last longer. Do what I did: Read one story every night for the next 87 days. You'll crack up, connect with, cry over, delight in, and feast upon a smorgasbord of stories about fishing that will make you impatient for the second serving.

Awesome!

Anyone who fishes, has ever fished or knows someone who has ever fished will enjoy these stories. They are fun, funny, heartwarming and overall, simply enjoyable. As a new mom, it is nice to be able to read one short story at a time from start to finish, smile inside and feel like I left my hectic day for just a minute. A MUST for that Dad who has everything for Fathers Day!
