Close to the surface

The author: "Close to the Surface is about fish, fishermen, fisheries, bigger fish, no fish, record fish. It is a walkabout through several decades of sportfishing in the Azores with a focus on the visual. It is a 50-year chronological tour with loads of incidental stops. It is a stroll through traces, memories and souvenirs of sportfishing. It is a visit to the gallery of world records made in the islands. It is looking through my own glasses at a passion I have tried to understand; it is also an attempt to find the logic behind this search for the probably unobtainable."
Colour and black/white photographs and illustrations throughout.
A large coffee-table book giving a fifty year history, illustrated throughout with good colour photographs, of big game fishing in the Azores.
