► Description: |
In Search of Monster Fish is an
action-packed, knee-slapping ride into and
out of the belly of the beast. Join
extreme angler Mark Spitzer as he
encounters man-eating catfish, ruthless
barracuda, lacerating conger eels, berserk
tarpon, and blood-curdling sharks in
locales as exotic as the Amazon,
Catalonia, the Dominican Republic,
Senegal, and even in our own backyards.
But this eco-odyssey isn't just about
meeting and releasing some of the most
grotesque lunkers in the world. It's about
implementing solutions for problems as
behemoth as global warming and issues as
common as choosing what to eat for dinner.
And as the ice caps melt at the rate of 1
percent annually, Spitzer battles his most
epic goliath: a leviathan that dwells in
the depths of us all, making us ask who
the real monsters are, what our
responsibilities truly are, and what we
can possibly do to sustain our planet and
ourselves when faced with such demonic
disenlightenment. Spitzer then beats this
whopper into submission by reframing his
call to action and finding his own way. A
new portal to the underworld has been
opened in the cutting-edge literature of
monster fish, and this is your entry
ticket.
