The world champions for a day!



A few years back a team of Kuwait's finest fishers went and competed in the Mauritius fishing world cup. Dr. Hilal al Sayer, Jameel Sultan, Fawzi Sultan and Tareq al Salem were the world champions by catchings a 550 lbs Blue Marlin on 19/02/2006.

Having won the tournament on the second day, they decided to take the third day off. To their luck the same boat they were on was rented out to another country and guess what... they caught a bigger fish!

So Kuwait had the title of the world champions for one day, and lost it the second day to a fish 10lbs larger.

Moral of this story: Never take a day off!
