In pursuit of the largest was and is my all time favorite but i should definitely mention carp fever as this book was massively influential to me as a youngster

Watched a few of those carp fever ones at the time, army jumpers and 6000 baitrunners, cutting edge. And not to mention underwater footage and diving lol

Not that old but don't hear much about Frank Warwick's Every Bit Of Blue, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely one of the better characters in our game but still technical with it. Always got time to listen to Frank

Is a gem is our Eric.
Still his story about the badger tops his chapter in the book.

An Obsession with Carp was published before In Pursuit as far as I know (1998/1999).

Don't mean anything by it, other than that it may just change your perspective. I think you may be selling Dave short unintentionally. I would have a difficult time choosing a favorite between the two tbh, although I do recognize that 'same old, same old' feeling.

Not at all mate, Dave Lane, one of the best, another great role model. As I seem to remember I read in pursuit and then Dave's obsession shortly afterwards, as i remember it covered the same waters, think that's what did me. The Conningbrook chapter was good and how he caught it though, love it
Amazing that the likes of TH, DL and JS have caught virtually all the same circuit fish at the time, the really special ones, head and shoulders above the rest
