The One That Didn't Get Away celebrates the triumphant days and victorious moments for game, coarse and sea anglers from the past two centuries.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
'The charm of this book lies in its ability to celebrate angling not just as a hobby but as an art form-where skill, patience, and dedication combine to create moments of pure exhilaration. Whether recounting a long-sought catch, an epic struggle with a giant fish, or a serene victory on a quiet riverbank, Quinn's narrative is infused with the excitement and satisfaction that only a successful fishing expedition can bring.' -- Country Squire, October 2024 'In this collection of extracts compiled by the enterprising Tom Quinn, however, there is enough variety to satisfy even the most jaded of sportsmen.' -- Country Life Magazine, November 2024
