Description

Originally published in 1949, John Alden Knight's "Black Bass" enforces the idea that enjoying a sport to its fullest is only possible when one also understands every aspect of the sport, from its inception to its technicalities and everything in between. Gaining greater insight into a sport such as bass fishing will make for more successful fishing trips and more celebrated and meaningful catches.

Author Biography

John Alden Knight was the author of Modern Fly Casting and The Theory and Technique of Fresh Water Angling. He is credited for creating the solunar theory, which states that fish and animals move according to the location of the moon in comparison to their bodies. Knight believed that understanding the solunar theory would help outdoorsmen improve their fishing and hunting. He passed away in 1966 in Islamorada, Florida.
