South Africa already holds three world records for tunny, and the author, whose previous book Fishermen's Eldorado, was a best-seller, reveals for the first time how it came about that only in 1956 the discovery was made that we have game fish in SA that compare with the best in the world. The author tells the whole story of how big-game fishing in South Africa started, gives advice on the tackle used, describes the boats in operation, explains how the fish were caught, and provides species detail of tunny, broadbill, swordfish, marlin and where they can be found along our coasts. Black and white photographs throughout. Hardcover, 224 pages, 22cm x 15cm. Good condition.
