Angler quit Don, ludicrous and bombastic (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grandiloquent

'bombastic' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'angler quit don ludicrous' is the wordplay.
'ludicrous' is an anagram indicator (a ludicrous spelling).
'angler'+'quit'+'don'='anglerquitdon'
'anglerquitdon' anagrammed gives 'GRANDILOQUENT'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for grandiloquent that I've seen before include "Extravagant in style" , "Pompous in speech" , "Bombastic" , "Portentous" , "Self-important" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
