Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on January 24, 2013 at 4:27pm: John, this is an excerpt from Larry Kollers book The Treasury of Angling ,1963. His book is one of my favorites cause it shows how fish used to be handled, See the old geezer kicking the Steelhead on to the shore!!!!!!!! Also the tackle used back then for almost anything from Trout to Green Carp......

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on January 24, 2013 at 11:17am: Ill check it out, John.

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on January 24, 2013 at 11:15am: The reason I like the older books is the best ones detail the forgotten ways people used to catch fish. The equipment was neat, and today's fish may have never seen some of the stuff the old guys used.

Sure, they get to see Bass Pro Shops' "Flavor of the Week" all the time. But when is the last time they saw a "Whizzaroo Bump Slapper" go whirling past?

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on January 24, 2013 at 11:06am: John took me a while to figure out how to put pics on this , or any other discussion on here, with out it being posted on the main page. NOw that I can do that stand by for some more in depth pics of books , if you don't mind , for the library here. Will be doing more soon if you want em, just let me know..........

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on January 24, 2013 at 11:01am: YUP JOHN , I like the older books because of the history aspect of our sport. Gear and techniques have advanced so much in the last 20 years it is almost forgotten , except by a few of us Codgers, what things used to be like.....
