Nickle Pickle Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 An answer to a question: I have know idea sorry. I know as much about goldfish as women's mood swings. Absolutely nothing !! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatito Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Lol i'm tempted to bid just to go and catch it!!! Bit dodge, i've heard of big goldfish, but a 1/2 metre one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsarmina Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 i know its illegal, but you could try drag net fishing :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gannet Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 i have seen a gold fish that was in a pond all by its self for many years and it was over 1/2meter, was caught with a fishing rod, line hook and sinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatito Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 how about enlisting the help of some friends, and a whitebait net or seven? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 im interested in catching the beast and relocating it, anyone else want in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandS Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Yea mate, i could be keen, and id drag Helen along to hold the camera Where would you relocate it to??? got a unused swimming pool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Still need to find a suitible location, I dont want the fish for my self, just want to see the beast in the flesh really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOU1 Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 ITS HUGE We have a large round dam at our farm... Not quite as big as this pond its in now, but would be half the size almost. I wonder if I block of the stream part if we could put him in there?? The waters a bit dirty and has eels in it but that might not matter... Now in getting ideas :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 sounds like a good spot for him, you probably wouldnt need to block off the stream either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOU1 Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I am tempted to get him... First I need to ask my grandparents permission to use the dam, then I need to catch the thing I wonder if I can get away with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockerpeller Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 oh hell i'd help the winner catch that!!! could be fun... this time it would be a goldfish hunt since i missed the molly hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 im interested in catching the beast and relocating it, anyone else want in? i am in and lets get it in the books of records if its truly that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 there is more pics up on the auction and its either a pearl scale or it's sick with dropsy which would explain why it's only recently been sited cuz its hanging around the surface from been ill.
