Anyone interested in saltwater fishing, Florida life and history, or White's nonfiction will find much to enjoy here."--Booklist "Anyone who has seen a tarpon roll can catch tarpon fever and understand how this collection of essays will have wide appeal to a variety of readers.

The essays trace the origins of tarpon fishing from 1885 and have been collected by the editors for decades."--Active Year "A powerful resource for the fisherman."--Midwest Book Review "A book that anyone with an interest in Florida's history, natural history, literary history, love of nature, love of fishing, sense of adventure, or interest in the 'real Florida' should purchase and read."--John Fitch, contributor to Southwest Florida's Wetland Wilderness "An entertaining and illuminating tour through the halls of tarpon fishing history.
