The authors review the analyses of t{bar t} candidate events in various decay channels, carried out using the p{bar p} collider data at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV by the CDF and D0 collaborations at the Fermilab Tevatron. The measurements of the top quark mass (m{sub t}) using lepton+jets channel yield m{sub t} = 173.3 {+-} 7.8 GeV/c{sup 2} from D0 analysis and m{sub t} = 175.9 {+-} 6.9 GeV/c{sup 2} from CDF analysis. The production cross section is measured to be {sigma}{sub t{bar t}} = 7.6{sub -1.5}{sup +1.8} pb by CDF and {sigma}{sub t{bar t}} = 5.6 {+-} 1.8 pb by D0. Further investigations using t{bar t} decays and future prospects are briefly discussed.
