Mike Iaconelli
About this listen
Forty-four million Americans fish, but no one does it quite like Mike Iaconelli. In Fishing on the Edge, he lets you in on the secrets to his extraordinary success; how he developed his "power" fishing style, how he attacks the water, positions the boat, and perseveres through those days when the bass just aren't biting. With tips that can be used by any fisherman, from using spinner baits to picking out the right rod to his no-fail "secret weapons", this is an intensive, informative, and often raucous journey through the life of a brash young man destined to do for fishing what Tony Hawk did for the X Games: take the sport to a whole new level. At the same time, it's the compelling first-person story of a man who prepared carefully every step of the way, kept notes on every fish he ever caught, and executed the perfect plan to get to the top.
A tale of passion, competition, and extreme personality, Fishing on the Edge is a book for anyone who loves the sport of fishing, wants to turn a hobby into a career, or is simply fascinated by a man's unstoppable drive to succeed.

Of course, there are a number of different bass species that people generally just call "bass" or even "black bass". Examples of which include Guadalupe bass, Kentucky bass, spotted bass, small mouth bass, and largemouth bass. I’ll provide comprehensive bass fish information in the guide.

Story
From the irrepressible author of Trout Bum and The View from Rat Lake comes an engaging, humorous, often profound examination of life's greatest mysteries: sex, death, and fly-fishing. John Gierach's quest takes us from his quiet home water (an ordinary, run-of-the-mill trout stream where fly-fishing can be a casual affair) to Utah's famous Green River, and to unknown creeks throughout the Western states and Canada. We're introduced to a lively group of fishing buddies, some local "experts," and even an ex-girlfriend, along the way.

Really enjoyed this fishing book. Mike seems like a good dude. I'm not a bass fisherman but he definitely accomplished his goal and made me feel his passion. Loved his story, and there was definitely more than enough fishing stories in there. Glad to hear there are modern pioneers changing the fishing scene and attracting a younger crowd.

Good insights into tournament fishing
What made the experience of listening to Fishing on the Edge the most enjoyable?
Outside my area of interest, and it gave me insight into fishing as a profession rather than a hobby.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Fishing on the Edge?
How devastating tournament fishing can be to a family.
What does Mike Iaconelli bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Excellent delivery of his personal story.
