What Am I?

[Old Scaley]

Since Oma is ruining any chance of fishing at the moment I thought we could resurrect the old standby for such depressing times - a game of What Am I?

For those who haven’t played before, it is pretty simple.  Someone starts it off by giving one clue about the identity of the fishing related secret creature. As people start guessing, the host releases new clues one at a time (often enough to keep the game moving) and it continues like this until someone answers correctly.  No asking questions, just guesses based on the clues. That person then kicks off with a new secret animal.  Any other rules we can make up as we go along.

I will kick it off:  The clue is “I can grow to around 3kg.  What am I?”
