After 8 tins and world-class precision, I’ve finally done it, speared me a real gold fish. None of that “borrowed from someone’s charter” nonsense like the copycats. Mine was 100% wild… caught in its natural habitat , the motel pond. Put up a fierce 2-second fight before realising it’s worth about $4.50 at Pet shop. Still counts.
