Fishing Victoria Forum

Please fellas, I can understand your urge to exaggerate the size of your catch, but if you must thrust your fish into the camera lens, can you at least include some weights/dimensions to put them in perspective for us. Some of us are genuinely interested. What possible objection could you have to in...
