I bleieve I've mentioned this writer before, in context of hi "Doc Ford" series.  Just finished a couple of his "non-fiction" books.  They're really collections of stories.  He was a light-tackle fishing guide on Sanibel Island for a number of years, and also wrote stories for various magazines -- Outdoors, Men's Health, probably a few others.  These two books seem to be collections of those writings:

"The Sharks of Lake Nicaragua"

"Batfishing in the Rain Forest"

Really entertaining!  "Sharks" is a little more upbeat; "Batfishing" a bit more pensive.  In both cases the title of the book is the title of the last story.  The subject matter is "adventure/travel".  Fish and fishing are involved, but they're not really "about" that.  Subject matter ranges from fishing to baeball to dog sledding.  Very interesting and clever!
