"Alaska's Trophy Sportfish is undoubtedly the best book of its kind on Alaska. A thorough where-to and how-to guidebook for Alaska anglers, covering all major freshwater species." -- Sports Afield magazine
"Batin's long time on Alaskan waters gives his new book singular value. What fisherman wouldn't pay for (two) decades of experience condensed into plain English? The author's experience shows. No matter what the species being sought, Batin's book is a great place to start. It's probably the most thorough volume ever written on the subject." -- Joe Bridgman, Anchorage Times
"Batin reveals many of his fishing secrets in this storehouse of fishing tips. His book represents a detailed, scientific approach to the entire subject of Alaska sportfishing. Anyone who has viewed fishing with rod and reel as magical or having to do with 'luck' should buy it." -- Jay Massey, Anchorage Daily News
"A how-to, where-to guide by one of Alaska's best writer/anglers, Batin has fished these waters and knows of what he writes. From salmon and trout, to rockfish and halibut, it's all here." -- Rick Heinze, Hook, Line and Sinker
"Written with authority and illustrated with fine photography and supported by charts and drawings, Alaska's Trophy Sportfish is a must in any fisherman's library." -- John Jenkins, Saltwater Sportsman Magazine
"An excellent book. My only regret is that I had not read your book before last year's trip to Alaska. I have suggested that each member of my fishing group buy a copy and review it at least once before going to Alaska!" -- Ted Gortemoller, Shalimar, FL
"I have had many people ask me to tell them the ins and outs of fishing Alaska. I could only give bits and pieces. Today, my task is easy. When someone asks me about fishing Alaska, I refer them to Christopher Batin who has compiled his experience and valuable scientific information in How to catch Alaska's Trophy Sportfish. This book is complete in every sense of the word. If you follow Christopher's advice, you, too, could enjoy the same thrill." -- David Wolf, Outdoor Editor, Arizona Daily Sun
"Without a doubt this book is the most comprehensive and complete book on fishing Alaska that has ever been published. Chris didn't take the word of others, he went out and sampled every bit of the fishing himself This is what gives his book that extra touch and excitement. Locations are well-explained, and the special techniques necessary to catch the lunkers. It is written so interestingly that you will not want to lay the book down once you start it. " -- Bill Horine, Freelance Writer
"If you plan to go to Alaska, or already live there, read this book thoroughly and you fish it better. Chris Batin IS Alaska fishing!" -- Homer Circle, Angling Editor, Sports Afield
"You can't argue with success, and Chris Batin is one successful fisherman. He has made scientific studies of specialized techniques in where to find them and how to catch them. Alaskan fishermen should hook Batin's trophy sportfishing guide." -- Marvin Arenson, Fairbanks Daily News Miner
"How to catch. . is worth reading. Batin relates experiences and fishing methods not generally read about in stories or tv programs on Alaska fishing. This book is a good investment for anyone planning an Alaskan fishing trip with or without a guide." -- Don Vogel, Press Outdoor Editor
"I have enjoyed How to catch Alaska's Trophy Sportfish. On each trip to Alaska, I obtain a copy for the new members of my group. We primarily float the rivers of the southwest, unguided, and thus have found the knowledge contained in your book to be most helpful in our fish catching (and releasing) pursuits. I feel that your efforts in writing and teaching will help preserve this wilderness a little longer. For this, and all, I thank you." -- Dr. Pat Schelle, Oklahoma"
