What the hell ???? Artificial arms ? 'Cos there's no way real ones are that long.....

The little finger on his left hand is too far away from his other fingers. Either that or his todger is hanging out.

I reckon they're all really just halfpound a fish and the artificial arms have been pushed waaaaay close to the camera to claim some sort of award by froggy trickery.....

Those are plainly Barbie Doll fingertips, her plastic hands nicked off of the limited edition 'dirty fishwife' model.... completely wrong size and an illusion.

I think Baz may be right, that's a tiny todger tip - leaving only three fingers on either hand ! So definitely doll's hands.... or is it Homer Simpson wearing a false beard and wig ? We should be told....

Glad it appears to be a made up pick or else you need your backside kicking holding such great fish (or any fish) like that. One flick of one tail and they're all over the place. The long grass is no excuse.

The unhooking mat- a home made one ,I don't think you could buy them in those days,was just in front of me --you can just see the corner of it- and there were two friends standing either side while Graham took the picture

Ed re the TOP TIP. I wasn't having a dig mate. Just my sense of humour suggesting your arms make a perfect unhooking mat. I suppose if it was funny I shouldn't have to explain really....er...bye

Two double figure braces over 15 lbs each at the same time.... Four fish for over 31 lbs.

Never heard of anyone equalling that, let alone bettering it. Bloody good, worth getting some wet knees for. No wonder you turned into a frog.

Can feel the blood pressure rising to beyond 200..... must stagger off to bed, can't.... focuss..... red mist of jealous desire........................... aaaaargh.
