Fisherman Theme Chess Set
The fisherman theme chess set, this theme chess set is all about freshwater fisherman VS saltwater fisherman! I know some people have a preferance in fishing, me? I am happy fishing anywhere! Anyway this fisherman chess set is great! the detail of each individual piece shows amazing craftmanship. A largemouth bass is the king of the freshwater fish and a tarpon is the king of the salt water fish. Truly spectacular detailing, wooden chess game box it comes in is very high class as well. All the pieces fit nicely inside the box for protection and storage.
I really like the rooks, the saltwater rook is an ocean liner, cruising up a wave. And the freshwater rook is a lake/river fishing boat, it looks like its jetting full throttle upstream to get to that river bar! For river fishing I like a flat bottom jet sled best, but you see all kinds on the river... One time on a 
fishing trip to Canada, I saw a sadly underpowered, very old, Lund dinghy, (I couldn't call it anything else) trying to head upstream with 4 guys in it! It had a 12 horse motor with a prop on it, they wanted to go upstream because that was where the good fishing was. I was shaking my head in disbelief as they put-putted out of the backwater, into the current. They got into the middle of the current and gave it all they had! You should have seen the seating arrangement! it was hilarious, three of the four guys were near the back of the boat and the fourth was nearer the front. You can guess what happened... the bow went straight up in the air! Meanwhile they are trying to head upstream, and that 12 horse is working like 20 clydesdales! but that doesn't do the job, they start going down stream slowly. they are still pointed upstream... still... finally the pilot thinks he's going downstream... He turns the boat downstream to a river bar further down. They all land the boat and get into a huddle to consult. Finally after a while they come up with a game plan. 2 of them get in the boat and head up river, they make it to the bar higher up... 3 trips later they are all on the higher river bar fishing together.

Anyway, this is a theme chess set that looks great in a den or living room. It really brings a sporty flavor to a room.
