"Spitzer is a walking encyclopedia on all things gar as well
as a tireless champion of this 'very despised, hated fish'...a unique
zoological relic that is worthy of our protection."

--JEREMY WADE, River Monsters

A bestiary of gar, sharks, ratfish, gaspergou, Monster Fishing probes the human spirit fighting to preserve a planet in distress. After fifty years of fishing waters worldwide, extreme angler Mark Spitzer takes a hard look at his impact on monster fish and their environments. Through action-packed adventures exploring both familiar and foreign waters during a deadly pandemic, this deep dive into the bioethics of fish suffering and stress invites a new way of seeing aquatic species and holding ourselves accountable for the health of our shared planet.
