The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad
The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing

I'm not a salt water marine biologist, but frozenpod may be correcting you as at this size, the fish may be a female - not a 'him' as you stated.Fishbref wrote:I speaketh sheepish forumish...frozenpod wrote:Ate her.
Rather than him correcting your English if that is what you think.cheers

Re: Biggest flatty
Correct, most males don't grow over 55cm and very few if any over 60cm.Rod Bender wrote:I'm not a salt water marine biologist, but frozenpod may be correcting you as at this size, the fish may be a female - not a 'him' as you stated.Fishbref wrote:I speaketh sheepish forumish...frozenpod wrote:Ate her.
