"Never before have these prizes been seen by other anglers because these photos were never meant for us to see. These night stalkers leave no trace of their intrusion; they are not the ones who litter our fisheries, smashing down vegetation to erect their six-man Eurodomes. These anglers are the most respectful of their surroundings, crouch quietly in the undergrowth, scanning the lake surface all night for a precious sign of a carp's existence. They are not watching TV with a freshly delivered pizza from the local shop, waiting for a call signalling Gut Bucket's tenth capture this season. In truth these expolorers are sometimes fishing for myths, for ghosts and for the unphotographed."
