FISHING ON THE EDGE The Mike Iaconelli Story

Who would have thought a book about competitive bass fishing could be entertaining--even for people who don't know the first thing about a rod, reel, or bait? Author Iaconelli certainly doesn't fit most stereotypes of a fisherman. His narration of how he became a champion bass fisher is irreverent, and his contagious enthusiasm comes through in every word. While the fishing terminology is a bit daunting (the audiobook could use a small glossary), Iaconelli's chronicle of his rise from South Philadelphia to the zenith of a sport dominated by Southerners never disappoints.
