Rock fishing is often claimed to be the most dangerous sport in the world. The author, despite several close shaves (described in the book), survived over 40 years of the sport, including highly risky solitary night fishing. When seas were simply too treacherous, big fish were sought from beaches instead. This book describes the author's often colourful and amusing introduction to the sport at a young age and follows his fishing adventures to the age of 63 (and still going strong) in both South Africa and Australia. Boasts of the longest fishing trips without washing, how to avoid the use of soap if you must wash, dealing with diarrhoea in the bush, enemas and poop-eating bush pigs, as well as numerous stories of hooks-in-the-body help to make up the humorous side of the book. Suggestions on how to stay alive while rock fishing and how to land big fish conclude the book. So sit back in a comfortable armchair, beer in hand, and allow In Search of Big Fish to take you away to the roar and salty spray of the sea, the bite of a big fish, the fight that follows, and the joy of landing the prey...or the horror of losing it.
