Monte Burke's "Sowbelly"

For the bass guys, a while ago Monte Burke wrote a great novel which chronicles the chase for the world record bass. It's called "Sowbelly" and I can say its worth a read:

Great read amazing how dedicated people like Bob Crupi are about chasing the world record

This may sound lame, but I have an original hardcover copy with the authors signature. He was speaking at the NY Anglers Club (keep your nose up) in which my brother-in-law is a member and was attending. It was a very nice gift. A good read.[/b]

Not lame at all. I have an old hardcover myself. I collect books like lures
