"AH," said the old gentleman, seeing what we were looking at, "that's quite a fish, isn't it!"
"He weighted eighteen pounds six ounces, "said the old gentleman as he got up and got his coat."Yes", he continued, "it was sixteen years ago that I caught him. They told me that he was in the river and I said that I would catch him, and so I did. You don't see many fish that size about here now. Good night, gentlemen, good night."
And he went and left us alone.
We could not stop looking at the fish after that. I really was a remarkably fine fish. We were still looking at it, when another man entered the room for a beer.
