Well done Eddie!

Thanks Guys! Yeah Al.....they'd definitely have a hard time getting those cigars lit. Maybe a little cigar made from Mals worms would do the trick! :D

Take care guys,

Eddie

Thanks, both fish are very solid so it will be interesting to see what they throw. These along with my Heckel Cross fry will be my main projects at the moment. ;)
