Fishing Bass-Ackwards: Coming Down the Pike with Off-the-Walleye Humor

by Jack Ohman

Fishing Bass-Ackwards is noted cartoonist Jack Ohman’s hilarious tour of the state of fishing today—from bass-fishing derbies with the good ol’ boys down South, to ice-fishing on the frozen lakes of Wisconsin and Minnesota, to stalking the mysterious and elusive steelhead trout of the Pacific Northwest. (Not to mention fishing for carp with Twinkies.)

Full of useful hints (“Ten Things Not to Say to the Fish and Game Officer”), incredible accessories (like The Lake Drain), classic characters (from Bassin’ Assassins to blow-dried TV fishing show hosts), and over 60 cartoons, Fishing Bass-Ackwards will be irresistible to fishing fans and those who like to laugh at them.
