Condizione: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (New, Hardcover, 2011). 2011 1st edition. Small 8vo (152 x 217mm). Pp276. Colour and b/w photographs. Green boards, spine titled in gilt. Mint new copy in dust-wrapper. To "celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Big Carp magazine, this series of books entitled 'Big Carp Legends' will encompass the greates names in carp fishing history over the past two decades. The content of the books in this series will be a mixture of articles from the archives of Big Carp, life histories of famous anglers and original articles specially commissioned for the series." Told in his own words, this is the story of Steve Briggs' fishing career. Briggs' career as a serious carp angler began with a 27lb 12oz fish at Brooklands, which would have been his first 20lb+ capture, and a hard to beat personal best, had the fish not been foul-hooked. The frustration of this, and probably a sneaking sense of guilt which turns up here and there in the text, spurred Briggs on to beat this near-miss legitimately. In his first season in the Darenth Valley, he caught four thirties "a feat unheard of at the time" and went on to explorehundreds of waters at home and abroad in search of huge carp; Belgium, Holland, Morocco, Portugal, Lake Raduta, South Africa, Rainbow, the St. Lawrence, Lake Ontario, Austria, and elsewhere. "In fact, he has caught carp of over 50lbs from five different countries. Being the only angler in the world to do this is his claim to fame." Steve Briggs was one of the pioneers of Lac St. Cassien, and his book Cassien .and Beyond, is profitably read in conjunction with this autobiography.
