The Dark Side: One Man’s Journey to the 125 Line and Back

Del Stephens travels the west coast ruining bank accounts and marriages one albacore tuna seminar after another. The deep-sea version of fishing crack, by a man called Tuna Dog, has anglers ditching their salmon gear and conventional boats for stout rods, heavy lines and big boats that can run 50 miles offshore to partake in the fastest growing salty adventure on the west coast. All it takes is one albacore feeding frenzy—with screaming reels and a bloody boat deck—to turn any angler’s curiosity into an addiction. This book teaches people a whole new line of bad habits, and when they get hooked up—it’s welcome to the DARK SIDE.
