The Quotable Fisherman Reviews

"Fishermen are born honest, but they get over it." - Ed Zern; "...the big fish, yellow looking in the water, swimming two or three feet under the surface, the huge pectoral fins tucked close to the flanks, the dorsal fin down, the fish looking a round fast-moving log in the water except for the erect curve of that slicing tail." - Ernest Hemingway, "Marlin off the Morro" (1933); "For while the trout fisherman's efforts are ostensibly aimed at taking trout, his preoccupation is concerned with preserving the illusion that his elaborate methodology is at all times justified." - Harold F. Blaisdell, The Philosophical Fisherman (1969); "Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job." - Paul Schullery
