By Ponso Pondhopper It
was a fine evening in the north of the Shire and twenty resolute fisher
hobbits (and one dwarf) wet their lines in search of the noble salmon.
Plenty of fish were caught , a total of four hundred and seventy-eight,
of which thirty were salmon. Three of these were over 40lb, two caught
by Nannie, who shows that you never forget how to fish, and a whopper by
Miss Molllywobbles, earning here the title of this year’s Supreme
Salmon Champion, with a salmon of 49lb and 8oz. The all-time record
however, is still held by Mister Simbo Rumblebelly, who landed a salmon
of 57lb 3oz, some four years ago (and not Mister Potty as previously
reported, who held the record before Mister Rumblebelly). Full results are as follows: Runners up: Nimelia, Ragwort, Wiberic, Miralith, Tulpaani and Fidgit Fourth place with 49 points: Mister Potty Third place with 50 points: Nannie Second place with 56 points and a total of two salmon: Miss Tibba Stoutfoot First place, with 56 points and a total of four salmon: Miss Kapelka For the record books: 40-49lb salmon: 3 caught (7 points) 30-39lb salmon: 1 (6 points) 20-29lb salmon: 2 (5 points) 15-19lb salmon: 5 (4 points) 10-14lb salmon: 1 (3 points) 6-9lb salmon: 5 (2 points) 2-5lb salmon: 6 (2 points) 2-3lb salmon: 7 (2 points) Special
mention to Mister Halpo who was the least experienced fisher but
narrowly missed a prize. He will be sent a special compensation prize by
Quickmail. |
