It's always a pleasure to see books I own and love turn up on Recommended lists!
The latest is SEASON OF THE GAR by Mark Spitzer. Here's what Marilyn Dahl at Shelf Awareness had to say about it:
Lest you think that this is just another book by a crazed fisherman, know that the author teaches writing, is the managing editor of the Exquisite Corpse Annual, has published fiction and poetry, is a translator of Bataiile, Cendrars and Céline, and has appeared on the Animal Planet's River Monsters.
That being said, he is a crazed fisherman, although he prefers the word "passionate." And he has other fish to fry beyond catching gar ("the coolest fish there is".")

I love gar. They are so weird looking. And tasty...
Wow. That is one impressive-looking set of teeth.
Sounds like an interesting book.
I love this book too! Best book about gar, bar (gar?) none.
Okay, that is one crazy-looking cover. Scariest fish since the Query Shark.
A man after my own heart. Books & fishing ... my idea of heaven.
Your timing is impeccable. This is the perfect gift for my dad for Father's Day!

Caught a gar once, about three foot long, and one of those feet was teeth.
