Unfazed, he hauled it in, hog-tied it and took it home, the papersaid, featuring a picture of the one that didn't get away with theproud fisherman.

Pheakadey has ignored suggestions from his neighbours to eat theanimal and is instead keeping it in his front yard until he canfind an interested buyer, the paper said.
