The Book of the Tarpon by A.W. Dimock

After an astonishing career on Wall Street, Anthony Weston Dimock pioneered the modern sport of tarpon fishing. This tasteful reprint of the legendary 1911 masterwork embodies all the expeditionary drama and excitement you would expect pursuing a primitive fish in primitive waters using primitive equipment. It is a delight—vintage old Florida and the Everglades teeming with leaping, crashing, somersaulting fish, captured in stunning, breakthrough photographs by the author’s son, Julian Dimock. This defines what a great fishing book should be. “Part of our reverence for the tarpon is as an instance of pure creation, of the perpetual newness of Nature. For tarpon fishermen, nothing is quite so renewing as a dip into Dimock’s The Book of the Tarpon.” —Thomas McGuane
