[Bruce Litton · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a brilliantly written book. Ryan must have his finger on virtually all of the research available, but not only is Northern Pike deeply informed, it's full of anecdotes drawn from outings with dozens of his friends all over the pike's eastern range.

He hasn't come to New Jersey, though. Hasn't even mentioned my home state!

What I like best about the book is that it is a work of exquisitely chosen language. I'm a writer myself, and especially Ryan's one-liners make me jealous.

I didn't used to know anything about Northern Pike, now I know a lot. I liked the mix of practical fishing advice, anecdotes about fishing and the life cycle of the Northern Pike. I might even be able to catch one after reading this book.
