A lifetime quest to catch 100 species of fish from UK waters; 300 species worldwide; a 200 pound fish from a trailed boat; a 200 pound fish from the shore; a 100 pound fish from freshwater; a double figure trout; a double figure Bass; a fish in excess of 1000 pounds, plus a British, a European and a world record before calling time on the practical angling. A full detailed account of each of the listed aspects along with information of catching, handling and identifying all the species concerned, and of course the inevitable problems and failures which are bound to crop up in such an all consuming angling objective. Other peripheral topics are also explored and discussed.
