Fish Foolishness

Posted on by

I was trolling from table to table at this years East Bay Anglers show when I came across a book whose title and cover hooked me on the spot:

Fish360 Fish Foolishness

Fish Foolishness, by Peter Nilsen, is an epic collection of more than 100 comical cartoons on the predatory Angler and acute fish.  When I  read:

Fish360 Fish Foolishness

…I burst out laughing.  Laughter is truly the best medicine.

I like this book because it’s funny and fresh; but, most importantly, because it reminds me to keep fishing fun and not to take it so seriously.
