Many of the guys I grew up fishing with resented him, but its all jealousy, IMO. When confronted with the "Why don't you like Frank?" question, most of the guys I know struggle to produce a valid argument to me.

I agree Mike. I have read "20 Years on the Cape" hundreds of times. The stories are timeless. If you fished the Cape in the 70s you know what it was like. Frank was a meat hunter but I don't fault him at all. He had a family to feed and he was great at what he did.
He was not well received by the old guard at Murats. They all felt that he sold out by writing the book that gave away all the secrets.
