I used to go fishing many years ago with a friend on Lake Kariba in old Rhodesian days. We used to go out early morning and then bring back fish for lunch. There was always so much fish there that it was fun and no hanging around,<br />Yes those scales are probably better for the job than the new newfangled ones!

I wanted to do girly things like pick flowers. But I did enjoy the fresh fish afterward. Love the old scale; those are astonishingly accurate, and so a good choice, since those gents are obviously serious about their contest!
