<p><b>A Gorgeously Illustrated Collection of First-Person Stories on the Sublime Joy of Flyfishing</b><br/><br/>Every fly fisher has one: that moment-that ineffable, transcendent moment-they can point to and say, <i>That's it. That was when time seemed to stop and I felt fully alive. That's why I fish.</i><br/><br/>Collected and framed by the award-winning writer Peter Kaminsky, <b><i>The Catch of a Lifetime</i></b> presents the moving first-person stories of more than seventy anglers recounting their catch of a lifetime. With its tales of brown trout in Montana and bluefish at Montauk Point, smallmouth in Minnesota's Boundary Waters and unforgettable adventures with giant taimen on the steppes of central Asia, bonefish in New Caledonia, white marlin in the Baja, and golden dorado in the tribal lands along the Amazon's headwaters, this gorgeously illustrated anthology is a transporting testament to the call that all anglers heed-to get out there and be one with the water. It distills perfectly the magic of the sport; you can't read it and not want to go fishing.<br/><br/>The contributor list is a diverse who's who of writers, artists, sportspeople, and others who've made flyfishing a singular passion, including Carl Hiaasen, Joan Wulff, Tom Colicchio, Charles Gaines, Rachel Maddow, Mark Kurlansky, Brittany Howard, John McPhee, Verlyn Klinkenborg, and Jared Zissu. Their encounters, their memories, the words they use to describe, say, a forty-pound salmon leaping into the air or the sight of a great blue heron soaring down the creek to steal a catch make this the book of a lifetime for any fly fisher.</p>

<p>Photography is often about timing. Capturing the moment. The moment, which is often preceded by ideas, planning, a lot of work and many hours in a hide. Sometimes you get lucky. That moment may be full of action and over in a thousandth of a second, but it may be longer, calmer even meditative. </p><p>In this book, photographer Kristoffer Sahlén has compiled his most unusual and unique photographs. Photographs and humorous anecdotes from some of the best moments he has experienced amongst wild animals in the Scandinavian countryside, when he has been at the right place at the right time to capture the moment. Angry Elks, Bears that get a bit too close for comfort and Sweden s longest Red Deer are just a few of the characters you will meet in this book.</p>
