Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
In all the slow, quiet bays and side streams off the main river shoals of piranha wait to chomp your morenita in half, so a step down in hook and bait size is imperative.The face of British angling, television star, big fish specialist and author of countless excellent guides to the sport of rod and line, John Wilson finally reveals a little of the man behind the beard in a beautifully illustrated memoir.
From the 1950s when a generously quiffed teenager fished the waters of Enfield for roach to his most recent adventures in Africa and India, on the trail of truly monstrous mahseer and catfish, Wilson has travelled the world with a rod in one hand and a camera in the other. The results areimpressive and will have even the most stay-at-home angler reaching for the tackle box and travel brochures.
Unfettered enthusiasm and flair for self-publicity have taken him from cruiseship hairstylist to one-man publishing and media phenomenon. It's the sort of public profile that draws flak and his critics will have plenty to enjoy, but from behind his familiar peculiarities of style, the author emerges as a talented and industrious sportsman and communicator.
His "All-time Big Fish List" and the stories behind it are the final word on his abilities.
Characteristically readable and informative, with love of the natural world and fishing as his themes, Wilson reflects publicly for the first time on the personal meaning of a lifelong immersion in his own passions. --Alex Hankin
