Are you talking about the president of AFANT? Surely not. Bit ironic considering the new "Code".

Dont judge me but If i get a 120+ it be going on the wall...

I'll release her if she over 95 and below 120.

A mate has a 128 on his wall and I always think to myself one day when I see it.

If my judgment would be that based on your stated intention you are a completley normal individidual of sound mind would I be allowed to judge you Tran. Dont worry about it it is just a fish you cant get done for murder... yet, and it would indeed look great on the wall, just have to mortgage a child to pay for it .

Thanks Andy , there a few on here who get a bit carried away with pushing the whole releasing big barra philosophy . I have no problem necking anything as long as I eat it. I necked my first metery going 101 but it tasted fairly average so I don't neck big ones any more because of tis reason.

My mates uncle in Melbourne who is a taxidermist . He specialises in big animal from all over the world. A lot of rich dude out there who hunt and collect trophy specimens. He started his trade by working on horses from man from snowing river as most of the cast could not ride horses. Horse heads on wooden rocking horses.

The rest of the horses were exported to the UK to make meat pies
