An Isaan Pond

He said it was a whoosh mango. Guess the joke was so clever and nuanced nobody got it. Not the first time for Helga.

It's been too hot to do any fishing lately but I check on the pond every day for any signs of problems. The waterfall is on 24 hours a day and so far there've been no fatalities from lack of oxygen, or from pla chon attacks for that matter.

It's not only too hot for fishing, it's too bot for anything in this awful climate as these two toads reminded me tonight.

I have some fine pla duuk in my pond but nothing like this!

This is a 143lb catfish recently caught from a lake in Essex, England. It's the biggest fish ever caught on rod and line in freshwater in the UK.



I reckon if I caught a pla duuk this big out of my pond, all I'd need would be a freezer full of oven chips and Talley's frozen peas and we'd have fish an' chips for a year.

I don't reckon Francis Moran will find it quite so funny in a few years time when he discovers that his wife has the same genes as her mother.

Has your pond done the 'buttom up' this year ?

[Joe 90]

You'd need 100kilo of spuds for the chips with that serving of fish and about 20 litres of mushy peas.

What a feast that would have been.


According to the manager of the fishery, there's bigger ones in the water.

What publicity for his business!
