# "Bass fishing is bigger than golf and tennis combined, with more than 30 million anglers [in North America]." Here is how to go about it for the would-be professional, with many anecdotes from the author's own experiences. "Even the most seasoned angler will find tips and strategies galore, on everything from fine-tuning a lure to thinking like a fish, and his soft-spoken, infectious enthusiasm will catch the imagination of newcomers everywhere. You'll learn where to find the fish in any kind of water and any kind of weather; how to sense the patterns that consistently produce results; what casting technique works best in any given conditions; when to coax a bass and when to challenge him; and even why a handsaw can make the difference between a disappointing day and a world-class weigh-in."
