He visited here this spring and gave a talk. I picked up the book and had a chance to talk to him briefly. Nice man. He wrote a nice passage in my book.
I have to say though there were things I really liked and a few thinkgs didn't like about the book and the man. He is pretty politcal and kind of blames a lot of events (menhaden loss for instance) on global warming and George Bush I and II. At least he did in his talk. It went over well with the liberal crowd here but IMO it has little to do with what really happened. I have to say though that he did his homework, everything is properly documented. He gives a great slide show and had some wonderful anictodes about the meetings to which DZ refers. I attended some of them back then but at times they become pretty hostile and I backed out of the latter ones. It is a book that we fisherman all should read....like a homework assignment.
DZ check out the secret life of the lobster, a lot more fun and interesting.
