"Ouch!"
Indeed, I bait that made him flounder, but he doesn't seem to carping on about it too much. I wouldn't swap plaices with him though.
Having said that, maybe he shouldn't have been quite so koi when shouting at the angler, who must have been reely hard-of-herring. The only ray of light I can see in this dory is that the barb got his rod instead of his pollocks - that would really require the attentions of a sturgeon...
