And here we have the big trout, a piece of unashamed motel art illuminating a stretch of road just outside of Oberon. I wanted to have my picture taken with it, but somehow we always managed to keep on driving past it on brief trips to Oberon and back. Lucky for me, Nicole was on the ball and she managed to take his picture after I left. As far as big trouts go, this one is a whopper!

Imagine teh seafood basket you could have if you put the Big trouts, oyster, clam, lobster and prawn together. Accompanied by the Big Stubbie, of course.
burp!
Nothing like driving along the road and seeing a big fish leaping above the road ahead – http://www.flickr.com/photos/snow_gibbon/262903059/
oh! That’s a beauty!
Good lord. I hear teh fish were big in NZ, but that takes the cake.
Ones that big don’t taste as good. 😉
That’s a nice trout. A bit too classy to belong to the usual family of Big Things.
Despite the caption, I think it is actually a salmon. Obviously a higher class of fish.
pfah. rocking horse = BORING! Crustaceans rule!
just how big is the big fish?
about 3x my height, I think. Although I may have forgotten already
I think the point of this trout is not so much it’s bigness, cause in the big things scheme of things it’s not that big, but it’s ugliosity.
it sure was one damn ugly fish on a stick!
Almost lovely in a totally ugly way 🙂
