Caught a fat doggie on Jan 10th that appeared to have a length of 6 inches or so of nylon protruding from its vent. Myself and Lee were certain sure this doggie had swallowed a hook and this was the remains of a snood it was attempting to pass. I gave it a light tug and it didnt appear to be giving way so I reached for the scissors to cut it off as close as possible. Imagine the surprise when gentle pressure resulted in all of a sudden an eggcase popping out.... :o

I don't know if we are the first people to ever assist at a Doggies birth(Certainly much less messy than either of my 2 childrens..... :D ), both fish and eggcase were returned to the sea ASAP. We like to think of ourselves as honorary god parents to the wee pup.... :lol:

well you dont need to keep them but i suppose it would be handy to have if you want to key them out roger!

seems like a heap of bother posting them on etc.
