[BIGKEV]

5th place to Lazybugger with a 40cm Painted Sweetlip - 60 points plus 30 points HOF

LB takes out 5th place with a "MILF" aka Mother In Law Fish. So named becasue of their fantastic eating qualities, i.e: if you catch one give it to your mother in law, don't eat it yourself.

Man that's cheeky, I reckon he was submitting that just to get his 30 points but lady luck has smiled on him and he takes out a place and gets HOF points for vermin.

Nice one Scotty, next time I see you at Reccliffe be prepared for some light hearted poo flinging.
