For four decades writer-photographer Francis (Frank) Caldwell has fished the Pacific Coast from Alaska to California. In this always readable book unfolds a clear, close-up view of the fisherman's day-to-day life. The author shares the excitement of a school of fish biting furiously at dusk, the frustrations and humor of the radiotelephone, the many characters he has known, the close shaves, the storms, the too-frequent tragedies of friends lost at sea, the frightening experience of seeing a UFO off the Oregon Coast one spooky night. Included is a vivid description of the terrible giant wave that occurred in Lituya Bay, Alaska, in 1958.
