The Island Police force is taking a dim view of this event and are following several lines of enquiry. Their net is drawing in and the scales of justice will soon be weighing in. Officers have been hooked out of more mundane duties and it is reported that a fish-head has been recovered and is being processed as evidence! Where the rest of this poor creature has gone goodness only knows - after all, today's front page is tomorrow's fish and chip paper!
Mind you, quite apart from the dishonesty involved, as you would expect a preacher like me spies a moral in this tale. Fishing in the Aquarium is not real fishing is it? The warm artificial tanks exist to preserve various species and provide ideal conditions for them to thrive - but not for angling. Real fishermen ply their trade in the wide open sea where the huge stocks are waiting. Jesus said 'follow Me and I will make you fishers of men' yet many are doing their fishing inside the equivalent of the Aquarium - the church with its buildings and safe ghetto like glass ceilings and walls. Maybe we should 'cast our nest on the other side' and start fishing for men where they actually hang out in great numbers? Tight lines!
