Signed and numbered (186) by the author, Mike Rivkin, with thin blue ink on a 3 1/2 inch square West Palm Beach Fishing Club bookplate neatly affixed to the center of the first free front endpaper. "The West Palm Beach Fishing Club (WPBFC) is one of the oldest and largest institutions of its kind and among the most celebrated organizations in all of sport. Founded in 1934 as a civic antidote to the Depression, the Club went on to pioneer such practices as catch-and-release angling, the use of light tackle for sailfish, and aggressive resource advocacy. Along the way, the WPBFC has served as a key ambassador for the Palm Beaches, greatly helping to promote the region during some of its most formative years. While largely forgotten today, the Club's impact over the decades on critical matters affecting the community has been nothing short of pivotal. The book begins with the development of angling in Florida and the WPBFC's founding in 1934. Among many other feats, the Club's Silver Sailfish Derby established in 1935 remains the longest running billfish tournament in the world. Rivkin takes the reader back to the prewar 'Golden Years' when angling contests off the Palm Beaches were front-page news around the country. Unique personalities such as Cecil 'Zeke' Cornelius, Johnny Rybovich and Lansdell 'Bounce' Anderson emerged at just the right moments to guide the Club along its historic - if sometimes bumpy - path. Many great stories define the WPBFC's first 75 years, not least of which is its very survival just as so many others clubs have disappeared. Enriching the tale are more than 200 classic images, many never before published, that help bring this compelling saga to life. The West Palm Beach Fishing Club: A 75-Year History is the fascinating story of early Florida angling, its adventurous pioneers, and the iconic Club that came to represent a seamless blend of sportsmanship and social responsibility." - from the inner front jacket flap.
