This book, the first in a series, is designed to help anglers catch more and bigger fish in Lake Tarpon, Florida. The authors—professional tournament fishermen and outdoors writers—share tips, technipues and some close guarded secrets about catching trophy fish, especially largemouth bass, on the lake.

The guide provides a wealth of informations about the lake, its fish, and the surrounding resources available to anglers. Of particular value are up-to-date maps that identify seasonal hot spots for bass and crappie. A full sized map of the lake is also included including depths, names of familiar lake areas and laocations, and landing docks.

Numerous photos and graphics, including a rare picture of the lake record bass, a 19 lb monster caught on a live eel in 1961, add interest to the book.
