POPSLizard crawls out of mouth of a caught fish "I said, 'Hey, John, the skink's alive.' John said, 'Wow man, it just blinked at me, and look, it's breathing.'" The lizard began to struggle and with a little help from the fisherman it crawled from its captor's jaws. There were some teeth marks down its back and the tail was partially digested, but when they put it back on the river bank it happily scurried off. "We witnessed the ultimate will to survive," Simson said. "The skink had probably slowed down its heart rate in order to stay alive for that length of time underwater without air." There are more amazing photographs of Simon's fishing adventures on his Web site at www.kettafly.com. I couldn't clip the photos from the Courier Mail. Worth viewing.

POPSIt was how big?! A British angler has landed a European record on his first catfishing expedition. Carl Smith, pictured right with friend Dave Jones, caught the 226lb wels catfish on holiday in Spain. The men struggled with the 8ft monster for more than 90 minutes and have named it Jaws.
