auto culto Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 just been away for a weeks break with the family and managed to pull a couple of dive's in and loads of watersports without the missus going nutts . Overall tally on the two dives was 24scallops and two crabs (only one in the pics as the other one was typical supermarket size and nowt to write home about). This big fella was out for a little stroll giving it large thinking nowt could touch him and totally forgot the golden rule "there's allways a bigger fish" . after a quick battle he swiftly ended up in my goodie bag ready for the pot . Was really very lucky as if it was any bigger he would never have fitted in my large cooking pot as it was it was a very tight squeeze anyway .
