Sunday 20th May 2007
Venue:- Gals Klint, Midelfart, Denmark.
The last day in Denmark saw a megga bait angling match between 4 anglers, Norsy, Steffan, Hoppy & Ian, all fighting it out to be individual champion, it also had an international side to it as England with Norsy & Hoppy taking on Wales with Steffan & Ian, it was fished in a very serious manner, as there was pride at stake there were all sorts of tricks going on to get the upper hand, and the Ref had to intervene on more than a couple of occasions to restore decorum. This is how I recall it.
11.30 Tackle up and Hooter goes, 1st casts, as comp begins.
1st fish knocks, takes hold and is duly landed by Steff, a small codling. Score 1 - 0
2nd fish of the day comes to Hoppys rod, its another codling, the race is on. Score 1 - 1
Steff is concentrating very hard when he detects another bite and strikes into another fish, it turns out to be a rod bending flattie of good size. Score 2 - 1
With the welsh team looking strong, Norsy wades in with another Codling to level the Scores at 2 – 2.
The English boys have now got the bit between their teeth and Hoppy latches into a cracking Starfish, and after a massive protest by the Welsh team members , the Referee allowed the item to stand as it is after all a fish of some sort, or so the name suggests.
Determined not to be humiliated Wales came back very strongly, with even more codling.
Ian was having problems with his casting or so he said, having taken a close interest in this match, I now see it was a ploy to distract the attention away from steffan who was just coasting, and finished with a creditable 7 fish for the day .
Sadly the official photographers camera ran out of battery power before the hooter to end the match came along, but just before it did a shot of a topless spectator was taken, and as you can see he thought it was that funny he laughed his Cock off.
It has now come to the Refs attention that Ian is not a Welshman and is in fact a an Englishman, so the final result has had to be amended by order of the organizing committee to read as follows.
INDIVIDUAL COMPETITION
Steffan Winner
Hoppy Runner up
Norsy 3rd
Ian 4th
INTERNATIONAL MATCH WINNERS ENGLAND ;D ;D after Welsh disqualified for fielding illegible player, Shame on them
