 About The Author - Jim Rizzuto
Jim Rizzuto has written about Hawaii fishing since 1964. In addition to "The Kona Fishing Chronicles" series, he is the author of "Modern Hawaiian Gamefishing" (The University of Hawaii Press) and the three-volume "Fishing Hawaii Style" series (published by Hawaii Fishing News). His weekly column appears in the Kona newspaper West Hawaii Today, and his monthly column in Hawaii Fishing News. Since he began writing for magazines, his articles have appeared in Field and Stream, Salt Water Sportsman, Sport Fishing, Marlin, Western Outdoors, Fishing World, Sport Fishing Boats, New Zealand Fishing News, Modern Fishing (Australia) and Pescare Mare (Italy), among other journals. "The Kona Fishing Chronicles" annuals are packed with tales and techniques, details and interesting anecdotes about fishing the Kona Coast. The series is important as a history of Kona fishing through recent years and answers frequent requests for an archive of Rizzuto´s columns about the people and events of these times. The books are priceless for Hawaii fishermen who enjoy reliving the adventures and exploits of each year. For future generations they serve as a look back on the way fishing was on the historic Kona Coast blue marlin grounds.
