Hi Rusty,
What lovely pics and the water is to die for. Them fish look like they'd be good in the pan. Hope we find a good fishing spot soon, the good weather is on us and its a shame to waste it sitting in office but what to do...paapi pait and all those excuses.
Your Murrel Looks like a three kg one easy.

Ummm...maybe....or maybe not.
Only two guesses so far and neither sounded very confident.
Here's a hint...this murral weighed in at exactly 4.25 kgs last summer.
So how much would this weigh?

Approx 3 kilos should be more like it
Rusty, I have just the ticket for cold ones! Got myself a 12 volt thermoelectric cooler for the Bolero. Holds about nine cans of beer, coke etc. Runs off the cigarette lighter socket and cools or heats depending on the setting you choose.

Haven't given it a proper test yet, will let you know how it performs.

There is a very nice and cheap way to cool your drinks when you are near flowing water. Just tie a string to your drink bottle and hang it where water is flowing fastest..
You will be surprised to see how effective it is.. Worked great in northern summers where temperature reach 45 degree Celsius.. Should work well in south too... chilled too many thunderbolts bottles this way

Great pics and good catch Rusty. The piscine speciman in question seems to weigh about 5-5.5 Kg.Is that a closer one?
Best-

Don't think its made in Patiala. its s product of Mount shivalic Breweries and they are situated somewhere near Chandigarh.

Good looking fellers in that picture.......shame about the porky gatecrasher trying to steal their fish !
Ok, the previous fish looks bigger - in better condition certainly. So how about 3.5 kg for the latest. Certainly a lot heavier than my initial estimate.
