"Eddie Turner, who is known throughout the angling world as 'E.T.', has long been famous as one of the leading captors of big pike in this country. Until now, he has been remarkably reticent about his catches, rarely writing about them or seeking publicity. Now [1990], Beekay Publishers has persuaded him to write a book, so that at last his many admirers can read the true story of his success. ...Even the experts will learn from it, and the less experienced will find their pike fishing transformed if they follow the ideas and methods set out in this book." Chapters include: E.T. history; Tackle; Care & conservation; Methods & tactics; Pike in trout waters; Abberton.
