Les,

Yes, the pike was killed (in less enlightened days). But I vividly recall the rollicking I got when I got it home.

(11yo fished on my own and walked back about 3 miles with it slung over my bike).

Never knowingly killed a fish again except for put and take trout fisheries (and I even stopped fishing those in favour of catch & release).

In the "opening day" picture, I was only wearing waders because I once saw the great Ivan Marks wore them!

I have one from about 1500 BC (before Carp Society) with me and the lads having a bash on the old mead wine, with a few of the nunns down at the local Monastry Inn, when I first got me habit, not many people had cameras in those days, I`ll post it up when I find it
