would 15kg even have the pulling power to do 434kg? even if the fish was dead and suspended would he be able to lift it?

Its True

Tue, 2009-02-03 18:50

I work with Nick and talk to him almost everyday, and yes this tiger is true and as Adam said he has fished for years with his old man over east and gets plenty of sharks.

I run the Campbells Website front page and i wouldn't put false pictures up at all

Well excuse me but I'd have thought that "I don't believe this for one second." is the same as saying "what a load of crap."

I just had a thought if Nic was 15 in the photo and looked like that compared to how he looks now then on a sliding scale of time that blonde would look shocking now.Good catch anyway very doable if done the right way.
