Honest...... I'm not the slightest bit jealous!!

Stunning looking fish, Neil. Well done.

How do you get them to pose like that?

Oh that's and easy one Lark: the Crucian has a piece of string that goes from its' pectoral fin around Neil's back and up to his left ear. So, when the Crucian flexes its fin, Neil smiles (thinly) and poses quietly for the camera.

That's right innit Neil?



You might not jealous Lark, but I most certainly am!

Luv it! It's either that or the tap on the head with the "priest" that stuns them into the pose.

The truth is, both my recent PB's are bigger posers than me!

Overtime is in order to save up for a new pole and then you will have the honour to take me to the lake and show me how to fish the pole and to catch a fish or two/forum/smilies/big_smile_smiley.gif

Yesterday's fish was 4lb exactly which beats last Tuesdays 3lb 09oz! It's only taken approx 15 visits in the last 6 weeks! War of attrition tactics work well sometimes!/forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif
