Wrong Way To Tell A Fish Story
This from the BBC
"I was trolling for smaller fish with 10-pound test...something enormous started to run with the line...the battle lasted for 10 hours. These bumps and brusies are because the fished pulled me along the gunnels. I looked that fish in the eye, he looked back and defied me to reel him in. Look at this monster -- he's HUGE!"
That's how you tell this story when you get to shore!
A four-year-old boy fishing off the west Wales coast with his parents was knocked over by a metre-long tropical fish which leaped aboard their boat.Let's see, rare fish, at least for the area more than a yard long -- available for actual picture taking. Looking good, sounding good"
The Grey family were fishing off the coast of Pembrokeshire when the ocean sunfish - weighing around 30kg - landed on top of their son Byron.
It was very heavy, but Andrew managed to lift it and heave it over the side.Threw it back!? Worried about injuries?! No, NO,...NO!
"Luckily, Byron got away with cuts and grazes.
"I didn't realise there were fish that big in our waters."
The experience has not put the family off sailing, and the boys were back out in the boat within days.
