The line-up for the Totesport.com Fish'O'Mania XVII event has been completed with one former champion among the qualifiers.
Neil Machin, a winner in 2006, bids to become the second man to have won the competition twice after Matt Hall, who triumphed in 2003 and 2009.
Each of the 16 entrants have won through from a tough event that took place across England from April to June. There were 16 heats in total with 130 anglers competing in each, making a total of 2,080 entrants.
Former World Champion Tommy Pickering is another of the big names to have qualified, while a further four men with Fish'O'Mania experience have qualifed for the 2010 final.
Rob Wooton was a runner-up in 2009, Ray Hayward finished fifth in 2003, Neil McKinnon came in the same place in 2007 and Kieron Rich was sixth in 2006.
The last three winners - Hall, Mick Bull and Clive Wright have not qualifed, although Bull's brother, Tim, is one of the 16 qualifiers.
As always, there will be a juniors, women's and celebrity match going on at the same time as well as the Go Fishing Show with a wide range of exhibitions and stalls.
Including in the celebrity competition is darts stars Phil Taylor, Simon Whitlock and Adrian Lewis, boxers Tim Witherspoon, Richie Woodhall and Spencer Oliver, cricketers Ravi Bopara, Owais Shah and Neil Dexter, while Olympian Dean Macey and model Hollie Dowding are included in an All-Stars team.
