Man, it's so big it doesn't even look like a brown trout. It sure was eating well.

That guy sure looks top shape for being 71.

Seriously considered a move to NZ around 10 yrs. ago, but I was edging up on the max immigration age of 55 or 56. Its apparently a healthy place to live with lots of open space.

You know you've got a nice trout when it's shaped like a football.

Man, it's so big it doesn't even look like a brown trout. It sure was eating well.

You bet!
