Better Fish than Fist

This is the first book about fishing that I have ever read cover to cover. It exudes great humanity and a fabulous insight into the great salt water fishing subculture of the Florida Keys. The author is a natural writer. I highly recommend Fish Fights as a great reading adventure.

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.

Fun Fish Fights

Reading "Fish Fights" was a delightful adventure. It is a picaresque journey in the quest of an impossible goal and its telling in a straightforward, light style makes it easily accessible and satisfying entertainment. I found plenty for the expert on the arcane rules of the contest and the varied, specific skills required to boat (and then release) each of the 10 different, magnificent, maddening, game fish that are the object of this game and deserve, we learn, the respect with which they are treated. But the real delight for me was getting to know the protagonist -- a wonderful, bright, big hearted, gentle but very determined and targeted Captain of Industry (and that he truly is, but you'll have to do a little research to find out, since he doesn't tell us about it) that shares the time of his life with us. Not the least of my fun came from his fast, insightfull sketches of guides and companions, a wonderful selection of slightly askew personalities that reflect the diversity and twists, the surprises and flavor that flows from the open and closed waters of and around the Everglades. I wished I could have been with them, swapping tales, peeling sunbruned skin (me, not them) doling out dreams and plotting how to outsmart those cunning denizens of the not-so-deep. It is a charming, fun filled, man of a book.

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.

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!!
