Publisher's summary

The star of the Discovery Channel's River Monsters and author of the best-selling River Monsters shares a meditation on fishing - and life.

In his best-selling first book, Jeremy Wade, the star of the hit TV series River Monsters, memorably recounted his adventures on six continents in pursuit of fish of staggering proportions and terrifying demeanor. Now "the greatest angling explorer of his generation" (Independent on Sunday) returns to delight listeners with a book of an entirely different sort, the book he was always destined to write - the distillation of a life spent fishing. Thoughtful and funny, brimming with wisdom and above all, adventure, these are pitch-perfect reflections that anyone who has ever fished will identify with, for ultimately it touches on what fishing teaches us all about life.

Meh- ok....

Not bad, but not a “how to” book as the title implies. This is really war stories from JW. I’ve never seen his show, so not much for me. I was hoping for more “thinking” and tips, but it’s stories. Good performance and good stuff in there, but overall a “meh” for me.

An honest account of a man possessed by his desire to fish

It is rare to find a book like this. Like, about fishing. Why? I don’t know, most fishermen are probably too busy fishing or getting gear ready to fish or researching fishing spots. All of these fishing related pressures are shared and detailed in this book with attention to detail and interesting story lines. I listened twice and found myself looking for something similar afterword - haven’t found it yet. Great book and performance. Thank you.

Zen, philosophy and fish tales. What more is there

A book on fishing it absolutely is. For those unfamiliar with the mechanics of fishing such as the importance of knots and and the inner workings of rods and reels some of this work may seem a bit tedious but in between these musings that are the Hallmark of a master of his profession are some wonderful tidbits of philosophy and life knowledge. This is Jeremy Wade in a purer form. Stories and reflections of a man who has successfully spent his life doing exactly what he loves. Listen just for that and perhaps gain a secret or two on how to live a life in the moment and how to live it well.

Nicely done

I enjoyed the journey. The author takes us on a tour of his history as a global angler catching some very large fish.

Needs an Additional Chapter

The stories are interesting, there is so much fishing knowledge in the book. A final chapter, or another book “Jeremy Wade To The Point” where he concisely focuses on how to catch fish would be great.
