Foreword by Rob Maylin. Green boards, spine titled in gilt. Fine new copy in dust-wrapper. Book I in the Big Carp Hunters series. "Big Carp Hunters is a new series dedicated to a very special group of anglers: anglers who over the years have quietly gone about their angling with relentless dedication, not seeking fame or fortune, rarely publicising their catches, targeting the biggest and hardest carp in the country to catch solely for their own satisfaction. Often these campaigns require huge amounts of effort, both physically and mentally. This sort of fishing is not for everyone, certainly not for the fainthearted. The demands on normal life are incredible, and very often there are consequences." "Dave is a carp angling phenomenon. His ruthless determination is unequaled, as anyone who knows him will agree. Very secretive in his angling, Dave has targeted many waters off the radar. For a ten-year period through the nineties, Dave smashed every venue he campaigned. His accolades include the Black Mirror twice and all the other Colnemere residents, and all the Yateley 'royalty' - Bazil, Heather, Jumbo and Arthur (only two or three anglers have done this). At Wraysbury he once again ticked all the boxes, naming his own fish and catching Mary at a near record weight. In fact everywhere he went, he caught. Today he's out there on another secret venue fishing for dreams. just doing it!" Includes many previously unpublished pictures, as well as much material describing the development of the author's approach to his task, particularly as regards baits. .
