Jimmy Hawk and the Big Fish - Paperback

by Stephen Hearne (Author), Chad Hammack (Cover Design by), Greg Paris (Photographer)

In a time before cell phones and computers, life is simpler. Country youngster Jimmy Hawk spends his days waiting for school to be out and his chores to be over so he can play until Mom calls him in for dinnertime. Uncle Ted, a father figure to Jimmy, changes Jimmy's life by gifting him brand-new fishing gear and teaching him the secrets of how to become a proficient fisherman. While all fish are good eating and take skill to catch, bass are large, smart fish that put up a good fight and are fun to catch. Both peaceful and exciting, this sport connects fishermen with nature-and with themselves. Jimmy Hawk and the Big Fish is a nostalgic story that will engage readers of all ages while also providing bass fishing instruction that covers lures, lake structures, and fishing techniques. Stephen Hearne is a lifelong bass fisherman who lives in Battle Ground, Washington, with his wife Debbie.
