Soft cover with 212 pages and black and white photos. This extraordinary account tells the story about a handful of men who made their way into the last wilderness to stalk and hunt the powerful game fish that inhabit the deep waters. Aspiring to belong to this elite group, the author follows and learns from them until he becomes one of the best. But in becoming the best, the author’s hunt transforms from pulling the trigger to learning the habits and characteristics of open sea creatures, such as the elusive white sea bass. Developing almost a sixth-sense connection to stalking these majestic animals, he is content to let them live. “If I had only one book in my diving library, it would undoubtedly be this one. For anyone new to the game, this is the book that opens the door. Carlos’ experience and love of the ocean will ring true with anyone who longs to once again be dropping down, hiding, waiting for what is just out of sight.” —Dennis Haussler, IBSRC International Blue Water Champion, 1999, 2000 “A rare opportunity to see the ocean through the eyes of the first hunters to venture away from the shallows, this book is both a journey back in time, and into the soul of one who followed them.” —Kurt R. Bickel, Sen. Ed., Spearfishing Magazine
