Mr. Jim Vincent: Pike Fishing on the Broads - How to Catch a 20-Pounder

Not only fishermen, but bird lovers, and lovers of nature generally, will be interested in the talk this evening, for Jim Vincent is a personality Richard Jefferies and Gilbert White of Selborne would have appreciated. A man who, night and day for ten weeks, can watch the nest of a Montague Harrier, who in late autumn can see in the broads 'golden reeds, more duck, and very few trippers', who, having to come to London on business, must pass the afternoon at the Zoo.
Listeners will remember the absorbing talk Jim Vincent gave on 'A Norfolk Bird Sanctuary' in June last year, in which his account of rare Marsh Harriers, birds which had hot nested in the British Isles for forty years previous to 1915, but which now breed every year at Hickling, aroused the interest of ornithologists everywhere. This evening he is to talk of pike-the twenty-pounder especially.
To land a pike of this weight is the ambition of every fisherman, and many are landed in every angler's dreams. But Jim Vincent has landed in actuality nine since the war, the largest 291 lbs.
