Following on from the very successful Dream Pike of 2010, this sister book reveals another terrific collection of previously unpublished stories of very big pike, told in the words of the captors. Each big pike is in excess of 30 pounds and some are over 40 pounds; captured by a wide cross-section of anglers, some famous, some not so well-known.
Stories include the pike that missed the record by one ounce, two Chew record pike, and a Suffolk 39-pounder, to name but a few; in fact monster pike from waters across the length and breadth of the British Isles, as diverse as pits, lakes, reservoirs, trout waters, rivers, broads, meres, fens, drains, loughs and lochs.
These stories are entertaining, educational, informative, revealing, funny, sad, shocking, riveting, and often, simply inspirational.
