Fisherman's prayer:
God grant that I may live to fish, For another rainy day.
But when my final cast is made, I then most humbly pray.
When nestled in your landing net, As I lay peacefully asleep.
You'll smile at me and judge, That I'm "good enough to keep"!

8) but you are aware of the fact that fish are the only species habituating this planet of ours which have a tendency to grow rapidly after their demise, especially so when the bearers of the news are fed on alcoholic beverages? :wink:

If i caught a fish like that i'd have the photos plastered all over the net, so i'd be thinkin the same as the rest of the lads on here. I'd believe it when i see a photo of the fish hanging from a scales.
