Caught some flathead off the pier yesterday. Also had a scare as I was
checked by the fisheries officers and had an undersized pinkie. A kid
next to me caught a 25cm pinkie and kept it till it died, gave it to
me when he went home. The legal limit is 28cm but I thought might as
well not waste it. And lo behold I get checked by the fisheries
department! Fortunately they let me off with a warning. Learnt my
lesson.

This was my prize catch. I grabbed at its mouth and pulled it right out of the water with my bare hands. All 35 lbs. of it. It put up a little bit of a fight at the beginning, but my obvious advantages (a brain, opposable thumbs, large tricepts, etc.) led me ultimately to victory. I kept its fins as a trophy; it won't be messing with another human anytime soon.
