Tuna I just finished "Tuna" by Bill Smith and can't disagree enough with the guy from San Diego. This book is a well rounded look at these great fish for the average/above average reader, and not an attempt as the author says to be a scientific know-all. Tuna was and is a pleasure to read and I recommend it to anyone who cares about the plight of these fish. Thanks to Bill Smith for writing it
