Thanks for the kind words guys especially bez , and I too thought someone would mention it ,but then again I thought no they won't they'd understand the circumstanses, .....It wasn't a case of her being unsupervised, standing up waving a fish around, she was on her knees five inches away from a wet unhooking mat with no rings or jewelry on , never held a fish before ,but suppose thats not good enough for some people. I'm not after a slanging match and to be honest I would reply like this even if it had not been my mrs, but sometimes it would be nice to give credit where credit is due and not be to quick to give a backhanded compliment that I have seen given in the past on here ,to young or inexperienced anglers.
