The Domesday Book of Giant Salmon
by Fred Butler

Subtitled 'A Record of the Largest Atlantic Salmon Ever Caught', this extraordinary book by Fred Butler is a kaleidoscope of fishermen and their moments of glory. The author has spent four decades pursuing stories of Atlantic salmon - to give them their Latin name, Salmo salar, weighing 50 pounds or more. This book is a classic of angling and a joy for the many who have fished the world's most sporting of fish and, indeed, many who have never cast a fly.

Magnificently illustrated, extensively researched, lovingly collated, this book is a true delight to read and to dip into. Butler's research is so comprehensive that it brings him to Galway where Ireland's largest Salmon was landed in March 1866, weighing a whopping 69 pounds. At ?50 Sterling, this book would make an ideal Christmas present for any angler. Because of the nature of the publication, there is every chance that it will go out of print very quickly.

The Domesday Book of Giant Salmon - A Record of the Largest Atlantic Salmon Ever Caught by Fred Butler is currently available in hardback online at www.kennys.ie for €78.50. Now with free shipping in Ireland.
