    He was gob smacked, tried it himself on some of his other gear and couldn't get it to even look like breaking.
    Wonder if his name was Jake?

    You are the troutinator Dundee.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Caught a couple of decent wee browns yesterday. The one in the photos was released, but kept another one of similar length, but much better condition than him to go on the smoker this evening
