Would you care to share your "what the f*** is that hanging onto me fly?!!" moments with us?
I'll get the ball rolling with a photo of Mr Scratch this morning, less than enamoured when a perch of 3lb 6oz saw fit to molest one of his bijou creations:



He was just about ready to chap it on the scone, when he noticed its sad eyes looking up emploringly as if to say "have mercy on me angler, for I am merely a coarse fish, and whilst I recognise that your offerings were intended for a nobler being than I, base curiosity drove me to intervene. Return me to my pitiful existence amongst the stones and I will trouble you no more."

And thus the striped pest was spared.

That is one miserable looking creature! The perch doesn't look too happy either.
Is Phil having a kip in the gloom?

He looks like the fish or "someone" just farted

Nah Darwin, that's just how he looks.

It would make a lovely supper though. Nice one Rob.

That is one big, daft, silly looking creature.

The specimen.

Crikey, what a cracking perch. I'd take that over any salmonid I've ever caught!

Which one? I don't know this species, but it looks like a great olive colour on this monitor. Nice fish, worth posing with
