Plot Summary of The Big One: 

A behind the scenes look at the annual Martha’s Vineyard Striper & Bluefish Derby, a month-long, 24/7 fishing tournament that draws an eclectic mix of competitors (including locals, foreigners, professionals, amateurs, grandmas, and kids).

My Thoughts on The Big One: 

You don’t have to be an avid fisherman to enjoy this book, although serious anglers certainly will love it.  Kinney gives you an entertaining mix of Martha’s Vineyard history, fishing strategy, love of competition, eccentric personalities, and unexpected results.

The Big One is on my Books for Guys and Sports Books lists.
