Our good friend Phatso has been around for sometime now and I thought it only fair that we asked him a few casual questions so forum members could get an insite into the man/boy/transsexual that is Phatso,
1. How long have you been interested in fishing and why is it that you have never managed to catch a decent snapper ?
I�ve loved fishing since I was a kid, my passion for it grows every day. It consumes me now. Not just the fishing, the whole kit and caboodle.Translation: I don't know
2. Rumour is you like to play basket ball, many people including your wife and family consider you to short and fat to play. Do you consider this a fair comment
Yes. But I was good at it. Did I mention I once scored 38 points in a game ?
I also would have been an All Black if it hadn�t been for Women and Alcohol
It�s a fair call to say I�m good at everything I try really.
Translation: My hero Al Bundy scored the winning touchdown in schoolboy football3. Lost any "double figure" snapper to gear failure recently? Talk us thru the scenario and had you been warned about sticky drags in the past from your mentors?
I loose good fish all the time, its my ability to find them consistently that has Bushpig, Bender, Kezza etc lauding me as �Guru�
Its true that the 30pd Snapper which reefed me at Rangi last week tested my gear, but I have no shame in a fish of that size getting the better of me.
Translation: I knew that was coming.
4. Was setting up the "shore boys" get together�s just an excuse to meet other sad and lonely men?
Im glad you asked this as it�s a subject of some contention amongst Bender and I as to just who exactly is �Mr Shoreboys�. When Bender put the question to Boulder and he confirmed it was indeed myself, Bender refused to believe him. I guess now you�ve stated I indeed was the one who set it up the argument is settled and Bender will be stand in �Mr Shoreboys� if I cant make any meetings.
PS. I tried to get them to move base to Kaiwaka but the one member up there is apparently not sad and lonely with himself
PPS. Theres a lot of us that are sad and lonely eh ? 20 odd members at the last one.Translation: Yes
5. Is Bender really your paternal father?
Yes.Translation: Bender can father children?
6. It is widely understood that your little brother is a better fisherman than you and holds the record on your boat for the biggest fish. How do you feel about that
I�m stoked. He usually gives me a couple of fish to take home so I can pretend to my kids that I�m a hunter.
P.S Better research would show the 5.21kg snapper I recently caught nudges out the 10pd one he got out with us Bushman.Translation: I am a picky b'stard.
7. It is said that your car is gay, having been rear ended on a number of occasions. Do you think this reflects your personality?
That�s an odd question. Ohsif first floated that train of thought. Have you seen his car ? His Mags look like paddles off a steam boat. Understandable considering the way he dresses.
My personality is one of love, Im a loving sort of a guyTranslation: I am not gay, just 'open minded'
8. How would you describe Fishing. net�s influence on your daily life?
Huge. The guys I�ve met on here are considered my best friends nowadays.
Its not the Website time. It�s the beers, the trips, the laughs.
Good place. Good timesTranslation: Huge. The guys I�ve met on here are considered my best friends nowadays. Especially Smudge - he is a fantastic guy. Its not the Website time. It�s the beers, the trips, the laughs. Good place. Good times
9. What web site do you visit the most (fishing net excluded)?
Bouyweather and Metservice to see if I should organize drinking or fishing or bothTranslation: www.anything.x_rated.com
10. What do you consider to be your most momentous catch and why?
That�s easy. My wife and kids. My daughters mean a lot to me. I cant wait to share the world on the water with them as they grow up.
Fishing wise ? Ive caught a couple fish over 10pds so far in my own boat. That�s a nice feeling, its one thing to go out with others but to find and do yourself is satisfying.
Always hope to get them bigger tho eh.Translation: My 17lb snapper
11. What are your fishing goals for the next 12 months?
1 -Fish heaps more with the mates Ive made here and share a lot more good times
2 -Increase PB Snapper of 17pd
3 -Help my 3yr old catch her first legal snapper
4 -Catch another and a bigger Kingie
5 - Be there when Ohsif catches a legal Kingie
6 - Be a good crewmember on �Bender� during next years Game season.
7 - Catch a whole heap of Smoked Marlin PateTranslation: 1 - Spend more time at Shoreboys get togethers
12. Is it true all your reels are Abu�s and that you are to cheap to buy better ones?
Yes. But only because I cant afford better ones because I fund the drunks at ShoreboysTranslation: I only shop at The warehouse
13. Your wife recently had a baby. Who do you think the farther is?
New addition to the family Brooke is quiet in nature and does likes to Drink a lot. For that reason I think it might be Squid.Translation: She's a good looking kid, it must have been Smudge
nice one bushy, very entertaining! you're a good sport phats.
Will do my best Boulder
Its ok, despite Bushie promising not to change my answers he has, as I suspected
I lied about the whole thing.
Except Bender Being my Daddy, that may have been the truth
Smudge, when it came to Translation you did extremely excellent.
Special Mention:
Q8. Except for the translation phrase Especially Smudge - he is a fantastic guy then the rest was exceedingly accurate! Because, Hey, when you say "I can't fish worth a half-a-crap but I can spin bull**** with the best of them", Phats definitely has a gift. That's what he said isn't it? 17lb snapper? Hope you sent that baby back to it's Momma!
Jeez Phats, get out there and get a REAL reputation. Don't make me get you down here to make yo' mark on The Beagle... beyotch!
For once I'm so speechless I can't post a thing.
Smudge - I am sending my 16 year old and 19 year old sons around to your place to live. Two weeks with the flatmates from hell will sort you out.

Well Done Guy's, Good Humour for a Friday...
Q10: its one thing to go out with others but to find and do yourself is satisfying.
Are you telling us that you have trouble finding yourself but when you do yourself it is actually more satisfying than going out with others.... ???
That's just too much info bro...
You've gotta laugh
Nice work swinie
And for the record its true Phats has a different father
It's been said before, but you guys crack me up.
Actually, I never appreciated how shallow the gene pool actually is around here.
