"It is the author's firm belief that any angler can catch outstanding specimens providing he puts his mind to the job, and in this book he describes, for both freshwater and saltwater fishermen, the developments and techniques which now account for the bulk of the record catches that make angling news each year. [This is] a book both practical and evocative ...full of hard-earned angling lore which can lead you to your own prize catch". Includes many accounts of the author's own wide-ranging experiences, with the final chapter describing his pursuit of sperm whales in the Azores.
