Fishing

[smilodon]

Now that it looks increasingly like I will soon be unable to hunt with hounds, I need an alternative sport where I can legally kill animals. So fishing looks a safe bet.

Therefore on Monday I went out to our local Angling Supplier and bought all the gear he said I needed. Today I went on my first fishing trip. And would you 'adam and eve it' if I didn't actually catch something! Trouble is I know sod all about fishing and have no idea what it is? So any of you fishing experts? And if so do you have a ny idea what this is?

Caught in The Great Union Canal, Uxbridge Wednesday about 3pm.

I dunno, but kill it, kill it hard!

WTF?

[OldBloke]

It's a duck-billed platysquid.

Yummy.

OMG!!!  that's the Greater Billed Sharktipus that has been thought extinct for thousands of years and thought  in many circles to be the "actual" missing link!!

For Heavens Sake!!....tell me you put it back at once??.....for this could be the greatest find since.....a clean pair of Benny's underpants!!  :dribble:

[TeaLeaf]

I reckon I've seen that before......







.......next to a 3-eyed fish on the Simpsons  :blink:

We are definitely putting too many chemicals in the water these days

I bet it claimed political asylum and a free 3 bedroom semi in Berkshire when it landed.

I suggest you take it to a local Chinese or Indian takeaway, they are used to identifying and selling unrecognisable pseudo-wildlife as common or garden chicken or lamb. If they can't tell you what it is, they'll be able to knock up a nice Bhuna or Szechuan meal out of it.

Plawn clacker?

[DarkAngel]

:lmfao:  Sell it on ebay  

[DuVeL]

Remind me not go to waters near you....
Is it maybe the Lochness monster but then a smaller version?

[suicidal_monkey]

the loch-ness shrimp perhaps

[RizZy]

I can't help it, I've just gotta ask, is that thing actually real?

whatever the answer maybe, all I have to say is.......

wtf

[smilodon]

Hellyes  it's real. It in in my bath, dead and smelling the place up!  I'm going to shove it my next door neighbours bin tonight.  :ph34r: For those who care I caught it on a 16ft Masterline Straight Shooter rod, a Shimano Baitrunner reel running 3.96lb  mono fishing line with a  1/4oz
 spinner on the end.

I'm going fishing again tomorrow, so maybe I'll catch something proper this time?

[Gh0st Face Killah]

Have you considered contacting the natural history museum to find out what it actually is?

[Anonymous]

It's a fox after the hounds have stretched it a bit  :devil:

[RizZy]

If your actually being serious smilo & you did catch that dont throw it away, whatever the funk it is it not normal & should really be shown to someone who'd know more about that sorta thing.

I wanna look on google to see if your just winding us up, but I've got absolutly no clue as to what I'd type in to search for.
