Do Not Mess With Fish 74!

and you thought fish were fun! Brian Hynd did when he was reeling in his lobster pots some 20 miles from the sea on the River Forth when to his astonishment he hauled in a 200 lb plus swordfish, the 48-year-old, of Alloa, Clackmannanshire, said he and his nephew 'got the shock of their lives' when they saw the massive catch, Mr Hynd set out pots in the River Forth, 20 miles from the sea, simply as 'an experiment,' after hearing that lobsters had been caught as far up river as nearby Kincardine,

Dr Krishen Rana, senior lecturer at the Institute of Aquaculture at Stirling University, who studied photographs of the monster fish, said he was 'surprised' that a swordfish had been found in the River Forth, the fish are generally found in warm and temperate oceans worldwide, although they do move to cooler waters during the summer months, He said: 'Finding a swordfish on the River Forth would be very unlikely, although it's not an impossibility',

2 fishy posts on one day, that reminds me we are off fishing on Thursday, I wonder if there are any swordfish in Charlie's fishing park?
