"Bill: I can't say enough great things about the new book! Beautifully produced, published and skillfully written. I just received my copy in the mail yesterday. I was going to just "browse" through it after getting home from work but I ended up staying up until 2:30 AM! The insights and memories from all the long range captains was especially enjoyable to read. Thanks so much for your efforts in promoting long range sportfishing." Chris Dunn Chief Meteorologist KPHO-TV / CBS 5 Phoenix, AZ www.thefishingweatherman.com "By the way...you mentioned June Pierce being the first female to catch a 300# cow tuna. I have attached a photo of her with the fish right after it was caught. I think it went 302#, caught at Clarion on a 14-day trip on the RR III in the spring of 1986 with Bob Burns at the helm. That was the only trip I ever made to the islands as a crew member."
