A couple of fun reads...

I just wanted to share some good reading opportunities...

Recently on the Forum a book about Shad was recommended. It's a terrific window into a fascinating fish and US History.

I'd also like to recommend the book "Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed The World." (Author is Mark Kurlansky)

I thought both of these books were very cool to experience.

Cheers, Ken

Update: The referenced Shad book is presented in the "Stripers Our National Fish" thread in this Stripers Forum.

Tried to post this earlier
The Cod book.. I read that and found it fascinating how much cod influenced international treaties and geopolitics. Very cool read!
I'm originally from where shad are native and sadly they are in rough shape in a lot of their home waters, kinda like steelies and cohos here.
