Fish Quote by Paul Whitehouse

“We've talked about it, but I think one of the reasons 'Gone Fishing' is popular is that the fishing is on our doorstep. Even the more highfalutin places are available to anyone at certain times of the year. It's sometimes expensive, but no more expensive than you'd spend going to the football.” quote by Paul Whitehouse
