Wow, you need more than a 20lb fishing line to catch him. Cheers

Looks like he chewed one of the wheels off the trailer.

Well, I won't go fishing at the Servo where the pic was taken, but I regularly fish nearby.

The pic was taken at Borroloola last year. The young local kids had been teasing and throwing tucker (including a couple of dogs apparently) to a big croc near the town. When the adults found out, they thought they should remove the croc, so set traps. The claim is that after the croc was captured, the kids said 'wrong one'. That is the local story anyway.

I'm at King Ash Bay, just down the river from Borroloola.

No fishing at the moment as the McArthur River is in serious flood as a result of Cyclone Paul, though the worst has passed. The river reached 10 m at the main causeway near town (8.5m above the road). But has now dropped to about 9m. Hopefully there will be no more rain for a week or two to let the water get away.

Fortunately we have enough food, beer etc for a while as all roads are cut for a while.
