Book Review 01.03.2014 – Caught By Jeff Nichols

CAUGHT by Jeff Nichols Review John Scanlon MD

“Caught is a nervy, quotable, important exposé, full of lively anecdotes, marginal colorful characters.” – Joan Baum, NPR Dan’s Papers

“This is an eye-opening account of the black market striped bass industry, and a vivid portrayal of one man’s fishing addiction that contributed to it. With chapters like ‘The Full Moon Beckons Like a Crack Pipe,’ the reader is drawn into the world of obsessive striped bass fishing and this angler’s eventual descent into the underground market to support the ever-growing expenses of his fishing habit. But it’s the Striped Bass as a species that suffer the most, as stocks are – once again – pushed into decline.” –John Skinner, Noreast.com, author of “A Season on the Edge”
