You guys ever read "Beautiful Swimmers" by William W. Warner?

If you haven't, you need to.

It won a Pulitzer for Warner, and deservingly so.

It is a fantastic read; it covers the life cycle of the blue crab and studies the impact they have had on the Chesapeake and the impact the waterman have had on the crabs.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Willy at his home in Washington and he is one amazing gentleman...his other book "Distant Waters" chronicled the foreign fishing fleets that worked off our coasts during their last year of operations; another eye opening look back at fishing history.
