NORTH AMERICAN FISHING, 1st Edit.
FIELD & STREAM EDITOR WRITES NORTH AMERICAN FISHING
The first thing one notices about fishing editor and author Ken Schultz's new book is the size of the fish pictured in the book. Talk about the big one NOT getting away. There's a sailfish so big it takes three people to hold it, a lake trout that must be seen to be believed, and a brown trout that's as big as a good-sized kid. Are these fish for real?
"They sure are," Schultz said. "I took the photos so I was there when these fish were caught. This is no fish tale!"
However, unlike some anglers who won't even tell you where the good fishing holes are located, Schultz reveals all in North American Fishing, a modern, informative, and handsomely illustrated book that is an ideal reference for the 50 million anglers in the United States. It will also be the perfect introduction for the several million newcomers who participate in the sport each season.
"There's something in this book for everyone," said Schultz, Fishing Editor of Field & Stream, and the man ESPN has called “Mr. Fishing USA.” “I outline strategies, techniques, and equipment for pursuing all kinds of freshwater and saltwater fish, as well as making the perfect catch,’ Schultz added.
Published by Carlton Books and distributed by the National Book Network, North American Fishing is available in bookstores and from online booksellers; autographed copies can be obtained via www.kenschultz.com.
The new 256-page volume contains over 230 color photographs, dozens of colorful technical illustrations, and dramatic full-page action shots that Schultz believes “will bring the excitement and immediacy of this classic sport to life, while appealing to the lure of fishing – which is to go out and catch the big one. I show people how and where to do just that,” Schultz said.
Perhaps no other person in the United States could make that boast, but Ken Schultz has the credentials to back it up. He is best known as the author of the landmark 1,916-page Ken Schultz's Fishing Encyclopedia & Worldwide Angling Guide, and a member of the Fishing Hall of Game. Tens of millions of people have regularly read his articles for three decades in the pages of Field & Stream.
His readers know Schultz understands what he's talking about when it comes to books, fishing, and writing about fishing. The Outdoor Life Network has dubbed him "one of the best fishermen on the planet," while The Wall Street Journal said his Fishing Encyclopedia is a “treasure,” USA TODAY said it was “exhaustive,” and The New York Times said it was a “major accomplishment.”
North American Fishing has been awaited with the same anticipation because anglers throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico know Schultz has gained his experience and knowledge by fishing some of the most famous and remote spots throughout the world. They know when he writes about the best techniques and the best equipment to use, it's based on personal experience.
“I'm quite proud of this book,” Schultz said. “It's up-to-date and attractive. I've held nothing back. All anglers will find something of interest, and, as a coffee table book meant to be displayed, it should give them something to dream about during the colder months when they can't go fishing in their own home town."
