I walk down to the river a few times a day...you never know whats down there, always something to look at.

I saw these 2 young fella's walking toward me & i thought to myself "boys..catfish are often best left in the river unless your starving"

It wasnt until i got closer that i realised they had caught a good sized Threadfin Salmon !! I think it maybe time to swap the camera for the rod.

    I feel a bit sad for it... To grow that big and then get caught...
    I know, I am way too sentimental...

    Least of your worries Awais...the river is absolutely loaded with sharks. People sit & catch them all night.

    That's some fish Gus. I would have been happy catching the bait.
