    Ben and Dwight fencing with trout... I think my eyes are going to roll right out of their sockets.

    The fish shall be held supported 20 cm from its end. A 200 g mass whall be hung 2 cm from the end. The fish is illegal if the deflection in the position of the fish's nose is less than 55 mm or greater than 85 mm...

    You know, I'm just disappointed with the comments on this thread...

    I mean, you're just carping on the contents of the video.

    C'mon now, the judging on that bout just smelt....

    Make sure that your measurements are to scale. Otherwise they will be gill-defined.

    From the video, it was hard to tell who had roe-of-way. They could have polled the weapons, but one of them appeared to be a lionfish, and as such, not trustworthy.

    I wonder if they say "fin" at the end of the bout?

    What a bunch of pike-ers. And those who think it undignified should stop carping and come down from their perch!

    I thought the initial "snout-in-line" attack went basse.
