“Better fisherman do not hope for success or rely on luck in order to catch fish. They put their hopes in facts, skills, knowledge, and experience. The more of these qualities we have, the more fish we catch and the more consistent we become. Likewise, the more we know and the more we experience with Jesus, the better we will be at becoming the kind of person we want to be and God wants us to be.” Anyone who loves the peacefulness, the patience, and the skill involved in fishing would probably agree that many of the characteristics that can make a great fisherman also make a person great.
Very similar to the golf-themed Go for the Green, this fishing-themed devotional, Catch of the Day, features a Daily Scripture, a Daily Fishing Tip: “Pork trailers on jigs and spinnerbaits work better than soft plastics in cold water,” and a brief devotional thought that applies insights from the art of fishing to daily spiritual growth.

Al and Ron tell some of the real-life events and fishing experience that God used to shape and direct their lives and work and families.
About the Author
It began with a dream shared by two young brothers to escape the big-city life in Chicago and move north to pursue careers in the sport fishing world. Through the next decades that spanned the most revolutionary years in sport fishing history, Al and Ron Lindner became renowned industry leaders and inductees into the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. They were co-founders of Lindy Tackle as well as In-Fisherman, Inc., which they built into North America’s largest multimedia sport fishing network. Together they developed a comprehensive lake, river, and reservoir identification classification system, a fish response calendar, and the famed F+L+P=S (Fish + Location + Presentation = Success) formula. And over the past year they have launched a new television show called the “Lindner’s Fishing Edge.”

From Publishers Weekly
In That’s a Keeper!: Reflections on Life from a Bass Fisherman, H. Norman Wright provides pithy reflections on God, fishing and the spiritual life. The writing can be awkward at times and some of the messages hackneyed (you’ve got to be persistent; anger and fishing don’t mix; older is better), but he also reels in some more valuable insights. Wright’s meditation on the “accomplishments” of fishing, for example, serves as an important reminder in this fast-paced world that achievements aren’t everything. Sometimes, he points out, wasting time is not a waste of time.

More than just a collection of fishing quotes, this year’s worth of angling inspiration offers smart advice and ideas for daily resolutions. Here’s the entry for June 16, in part: "Fish run in schools; so do fishermen. Catch a trout where nobody has thought of looking for them…. Go down a path of your own choosing." But don’t worry, this isn’t another one of those fascist, saccharin-sweet self-improvement schemes. Hence November 1: "Relax. You don’t have to feel inspired today."
Anglers are meditative by nature and patient in their pursuits. They are united by a love of colorful fishing lore and the great outdoors. The Angler’s Book of Daily Inspiration combines practical advice, folk wisdom, and motivational thoughts for lovers of this solitary and often frustrating sport. Contributors include Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, Norman MacLean, John Gierach, and others. Each of the 366 entries features an inspirational quotation, a discussion of a related topic, and an affirmation to put into practice for better fishing every day of the year.
