It is a view of an often hidden world, but one that will open up opportunities for others that feel they too may, or must, follow a similar path.But Addicted to Angling is more than a personal there is much to learn, too, and the detailed description of the capture of some incredible and unusual fish leaves readers with a wealth of tactics used to target not just the big fish, but also a wide number of individual species in the UK and across the globe.

Won this book in the Goodreads giveaways. My husband likes fishing and looked forward to reading this but although he read it all he unfortunately didn't enjoy it and found it rather boring.

Never before i have i read a book about FISH. As i won this book in a giveaway i thought it only fair that i would read it. Well, it surprised me. One man's passion about fish, fishing and everything to do with it. I actually found myself getting right into this book, that surprised me. Every spare moment i had i picked it up and read a few more pages.
One man's passion about fish turns into a lifetime of work and addiction. There are lots of colour photos and the book tells the story of Mike, his adventures around the world to find that rare fish. I am no angler but i could imagine myself on the boat with Mike, the enthusiasm building when he casts his rod into the water. I would recommend this book to any angler or even anyone thinking about taking it up as a hobby.
