Would you like to catch the world's largest freshwater fish?  How about the Chinook salmon, flounder, surf perch and other fish that lurk in the lower Columbia River?  Or, are you such a nimrod that you want to hook the Loch Ness Monster?  All these varieties and more are covered in the wonderful books below...


The Meanest Fish on Earth! by Larry Leonard.  Hands down, the funniest fishing book ever published.  Here's what Sports Afield said about it: "If, after reading a few pages, you aren't giggling, you're a candidate for an autopsy!" Chapters on the Desert Trout (Dunebuggius Rainbowus), the Microfiche, the Electric Lamprey Eel and the Loch Ness Monster, to name a few.  This book is available in limited first edition paperback at the moment, though we will be bringing out a new edition soon.  If you know an angler, but don't know anything about fishing, this book will make a perfect gift.  There isn't one true word in it!   SORRY, NO MORE COPIES.  TRY AMAZON.COM.


Sturgeon Fishing by Larry Leonard is the West Coast's most popular manual on the subject.  Fish for a beast that may weigh a thousand pounds.  From Canada to San Francisco Bay, the sea monster you've always wanted to land ... a fish that will fill everybody's freezer on the block ... is waiting for you.  You don't need to lift weights to look like Arnold Shwartzenegger (or however you spell his name).  Just hook one of these leviathons and a week later, when you've landed him, you'll be solid muscle!  Tackle, locations, techniques ... everything you need to head for big water and have the crap scared out of you!  Just twenty-five books left of the 2nd printing, then nothing until May or June of '01! (#OB2) Only $8.95, plus shipping. Order!

Fishing the Lower Columbia by Larry Leonard. Have you ever, as an angler, been "down in the mouth?"  Did you know there's no better place to be ... if it's the mouth of the great river of the west?  Buoy 10 salmon, White and Green sturgeon, bottom fish, crabbing, even nearby surf and freshwater lake angling!  Just check out the map, pick your species and your spot and forget your troubles.  You'll need a boat for most, but not all of these species.  If you don't own one or have a pal who has one, then rent one and catch five different kinds of fish in the same day!  (#OB3) Only $8.95 plus shipping.  Order!
