Big Fish Better Boats Book

The boats that made it happen and the crews that ran them.

“This book is about how sportfishing first got started on the Outer Banks of North Carolina and how it led to the development of the finest boatbuilding industry in the world. In all my travels I have never seen another place that surpasses our year-round quality fishing and superb boatbuilding.

It is a tribute to the watermen who came before me, those who mentored me and fished with me, and the younger generations who continue to search for bigger fish and better boats.”
