The authors Abe and Angelo Cuanang have fished for all the major west coast game fish for close to 40 years. In that time they have photographed and written hundreds of articles about those fishing adventures and also published books on striped bass fishing and sturgeon fishing. They were also the Salt Water segment hosts for the TV show Charlie West's Outdoor Gazette for seven years. Angelo was used as the expert witness on sturgeon fishing for the Scott Peterson murder trial. Most recently Abe and Angelo have been writing for the national magazine Salt Water Sportsman.
