Whats your favorite surf/bass book ?

[Flaptail]

You know, the best book about Striper Fishing has yet to be written. There are so so many stories. The stories that won't be told far outnumber the ones that have. Some of you have visions of some of the biggest names in Striperdom that would be instantly deflated if the truth got out about some of them.

Alcoholism, drug abuse, lies, self inflated egos and ownership of falsely made reputations. Self appointed heroism without the actual act, cynicism, bullying, deceit, innuendo, embellishment all can be found in most. Mostly after contemplation they are sad really.

Some day I may write that expose' and someday I may not but uncovering the truth is something I strive for in our game and the truth most times is pretty ugly.

There are some books that if I knew then what I know now I would never have bought and was upset that someone could write a series of books on life as a caster/commercial to find that he was in fact putting himself in the place of others success or discovery as his own.

Bravado and sarcasm can often be a means of deflecting the truth about someones actual deficiencies while pointing out the same in others.

Sad, really sad.

I may start lying just so I can say I was in a book about surf fishing.
