"Fishing Passion" is not a book about catching fish after fish. Or where to fish. It is about a lifelong love affair with angling.
It is a book about chasing wonderful dreams: some that actually materialized, others that shattered into nightmares. But that's part of the territory.
Jim Chapralis believes there is a similarity between the passionate attraction to fishing and romantic love. The book is divided into six sections, which show a parallelism between romatic love and addicted angling. These are: The Innocent Years, Early Flirtations, Flings and Infatuations, Lifelong Commitments, Feelings, Emotions and Relationships, and Regrets, Hopes and Dreams. It happens in love; it happens in passionate fishing.
Fishing Passions, spans six decades, introduces you to some fascinating people and takes you to several unique, exotic fishing destinations. The author shares many bizarre experiences with you, and relives the development of international fishing. Ironically, after fishing 40 countries, the author discovers the magnetism of close-to-home fishing.
At a very young age, Jim Chapralis became addicted to sportfishing, and through the years he struggled to earn a living in tackle manufacturing, writing and guiding before finally setting up the world's first international fishing travel service.
