By Oliver Delves:

One day I went fishing with my cousins. My youngest cousin was a bit stupid and bought a Tassie devil for fishing in a bay. Everyone told him that he would catch nothing with that, but he kept his confidence and the next day he went off to fish from the shore and first cast he had a big snag, a big log, on his brand new lure, he swore and carried on and we were laughing. But when it got closer it was a 74cm salmon... we copped an earful that night!
