Hard Cover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First Edition. 260 pp. Limited first edition, one of 900 copies, signed by the author on a numbered limitation sticker on the title page. During the 1930s, big-game fishing emerged from obscurity to become the new passion of American sportsmen. By decade's end, the capture of gigantic fish on the flimsiest of tackle had become the stuff of front page news. Suddenly . war. This is the fascinating and untold story of how the newly-emerging sport of big-game fishing was plunged headlong into the defining event of the 20th century: World War II. That big-game fishing was severely impacted by the war is no surprise, but the contributions of the angling community to the Allied war effort were equally vast. The story of how each impacted the other is both surprising and compelling, and here it is. Carefully researched and delightfully written, Angling and War includes more than 260 pages and hundreds of heretofore unpublished photos, documents, and illustrations from all over the world. The book begins with the sudden emergence of big-game fishing in the 1930s and concludes with a look at the wartime-related technologies and adventures that sparked a veritable explosion in postwar angling. Incredible stories of both angler/authors and angler/warriors add richness and life to this remarkable tale, including a special foreword by legendary pioneer Alfred C. Glassell, Jr., whose catch of a 1,560 lb black marlin is the largest tackle record of this species for more than 50 years. Other topics covered in depth include the following: * Landmark angling institutions such as The Tuna Club of Santa Catalina Island and the British Tunny Club * Wartime angling at home and overseas * Development of a critical Emergency Fishing Kit that saved hundreds of lives * How American boatbuilders helped win the war * Vast efforts to send angling gear to the front lines * The evolution of tackle: from linen to dacron, from bamboo to fiberglass. and much more! Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Signed by Author. Limited Edition.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. RIVKIN, Mike [245] pp. Silverfish Press 2009 This book is number 701 of 900 copies 12 3/8" x 9 1/4" This is the story of the West Palm Beach Fishing Club, one of the most celebrated organizations in all of sport. Founded in 1934 as a civic antidote to the Depression, the Club went on to pioneer such practices as light-tackle angling, resource conservation, and tag-and-release - all guiding principles of today's sportsmen. The Club's own Silver Sailfish Derby (f. 1935) remains the longest-running billfish tournament in the world, and its classic Fifth and Flagler clubhouse has been a WPB landmark since 1941. There is simply no place else like it. Published by Silverfish Press, 2009, hardbound, 244 pages, with signed and numbered bookplate tipped in, lushly illustrated with scenes of Florida's earliest days. All net proceeds will benefit the WPBFC. About the author: Mike Rivkin is a former catalogue publisher and in retirement has become one of the country's preeminent angling historians. He is also an award-winning copywriter, avid and experienced angler, and past president of the venerable Tuna Club of Santa Catalina Island. On the water, Mike has caught every type of marlin that swims, plus a lot of other stuff. He lives in La Jolla, California with his wife and family and continues to fish the Pacific waters nearby.
