The publishers infer that the compiler and illustrator are not the same person. "A most pleasing anthology by authors old and new, particularly of the captures of big fish." (Hampton). "A Thames professional fisherman tells of a midnight battle with a giant barbel, Mr. Albert Buckley gives a most thrilling account of is successful capture of Britain's record carp, and many are the accounts of stern fights with noble salmon and trout in Norway, Sweden, and in Britain. ...the whole volume, which has been designed to slip into the pocket, is illustrated by Watkins-Pitchford, whose work is such a feature of "BB" books. ...its most unusual feature lies in the fact that "BB" has contacted the holders of fishing records and has got from them their first-hand accounts of how, where, and when they caught their big fish." (Dust-wrapper blurb).
