Review of Jim Moore Fishing Tales

The introduction is slightly long and could be a bit more concise. I found myself getting bored during the explanation of fishing techniques and types but it picked up when he started telling stories. The stories that were told were funny but the idea seems a little erratic as the story moves from airstrips in Siberia to what a trawling boat is, it could flow better. I like the idea of chronicling his job but the explanations are not that funny, while the stories are, making the story conflicting. The piece was still good for those who would like to learn more about fishing or those that are interested in the lifestyle of a commercial fisherman.
