it's late, I'm tired. And I'm sick of Peter's BS:

Sorry Sir Peter ... knighted "sir" for your conservation efforts. A crock all round from what I've been told my witnesses on scene.

45 minutes to land a mortally bleeding fish, my ass.

Hope you get your glory with your "world record" ... I've seen many a fish landed bigger on the bugrod. Not the biggest by a long shot.

But if that's what turns your crank, so be it.
