Today is 65 years since Dick Walker caught Ravioli. I think a toast is called for tonight chaps.

Click the link to hear Richard Walker's account of it and also his view on whether Chris Yates's fish should take the record from him.
Rest in peace, Richard, Pete Thomas and Ravioli. Separate toasts will be made tonight.

Here's to them all.

I didn't need much of an excuse so made a tumbler of G & T. Went down well so another was called for. This time its for Ravioli which I saw way back in the late 50"s. Its size inspired me, The rest is history.

I thought a little toot on my port pipe was in order.

Re: Today is 65 years since Dick Walker caught Ravioli
Why do we call Walkers record fish Ravioli? Clarissa is a much nicer name.
And I did down a pint in homage to RW.

To them both, all that water under the bridge and the event is just as strong.
