De event gonna be a fishing competition but because of de uncertainty as to who participating, it could tun into a fishing expedition. Fishing gat risks! So all dem invitees gat to wear life-jackets in case dem plunge over accidentally to haul in de big fish without hook, line or sinker.
De big fish dem deh in de river. And de fishing nets done ready to cast to see what de catch gonna be like dis time around. De contest is a straight fight between de carasses and de kack-a-bellies. De catfish, dem seh, done swim way. Some of de fishers dem get a long line by de organisers.
