Have you seen an episode of Animal Planet’s River Monsters? Jeremy Wade is a great story teller. He hooks your attention at the begging of the episode and reels you in slowly until the very end. In his book River Monsters True stories of the ones that did not get away, Wade shares his personal stories of chasing 16 different river monster species. Yes! 16 species!!
I have seen many episodes of Animal Planet’s River Monsters. But, reading the stories in Wade’s book has given me a greater understating and appreciation of the challenges of landing river monsters. You not only need strong angling skills and top gear, but also a healthy appetite for taking risks. Jeremy Wade is a true scientist driven by a curiosity to learn what swims in our rivers.
In his stories, Wade is honest, open, and personal. And at times, terribly funny. If you target trophy fish, River Monsters True stories of the ones that did not get away by Jeremy Wade is a must read! 😉
