But does anyone else not think that pics with your trophy fish should really be taken on site, not outside a garden shed or on the kitchen counter hours lateR? Just a thought.... as there seems to be alot of them in that link...

That sight is a joke. They should hang their heads in shame for promoting angling in that light. Dead cuckoo wrasse?? Absolutely ridiculous.
Ah yes, 1974, The Cod Wars. I hated Cod so of course I signed up straight away.

Each to their own, as long as the fish were taken for the pot we can have no gripe. Huss can be and are eaten as can most fish. I practice C&R most of the time but occasionally I take a fish for the pot as many others on this site do also. There are plenty of pictures of dead fish on here so lets not preach too hard.
