Once there lived a man called Bob Lee. In 1946 he caught a trout that was 191/2 pound. Amazing! The trout was so big it was known as a trophy trout. Bob's son decided to loan it and two others to the museum first and then to the airport.
After many years the trout went missing from the airport. When the Lee family found out Greg Lee, who is the grandson of Bob Lee wanted to find it. He looked everywhere with his father. He gave a photo to the taxidermist called Ray and then seven years later Greg got a phone call to say that Ray had the trout. Greg must have felt really happy!
The people who had given it to Ray to fix had won it on Trade Me. They didn't know it had gone missing from the airport so they gave it back to the rightful owners.
Today the trout and the smaller two that were found at Tisdalls sport store are on Greg Lee's wall in his house at Lake Tarawera.
A mysterious story!

In 1946 a man called Bob Lee caught a trout. It was a trophy trout as it was so big. It was given to the airport by his son, along with two other trophy trout. Then many years later it went missing.
Eventually a man called Ray who was a taxidermist was given it to fix. He rang Greg Lee to tell him he had his grandads trout.
The new owners had won it on Trade Me so they gave it back and it's now on Greg's wall at Lake Tarawera.

Bob Lee caught a trout one day. It was so very big so his son gave it to the airport.
A long time later the trout went missing. All the Lee's started searching for it. Greg Lee took a photo to the taxidermist and lots of time later he got the trout to fix.

Bob Lee caught a big trout. It was really big. It went missing when it was at the airport. The family wanted it back and looked and looked. Ray who was a taxidermist was given it to fix and so he rang Greg and told him he had it. Greg got it back and put it in his house at Lake Tarawera.
I thinks it's strange how it got on Trade Me but I'm glad it did as they got it back.

There once lived a man a long time ago and his name was Bob Lee. Bob caught a really big trout and it was given to the airport. One day the airport wrote to the Lee family to tell them the three trout they had been given had gone.
Greg Lee found the two smaller trout at Tisdall's but the bigger trout was still missing. He gave a picture of the big trout to a man called Ray and then one day along time later he rang to say he had just been given the trout to repair.
Greg lived happily ever after with the trout.

Later Robert Lee took the three trout to the airport where they stayed for the tourists to see. A long time later they found the trout were missing. So Robert and his son Greg started looking everywhere.
His son Greg was very clever and he found two at Tisdall's sport store in Queen street. That made them very happy but they still could not find the big trout, so they were still very sad.
Finally, Greg gave photos to a man called a taxidermist. He kept the photos and seven years later he rang Greg to say he had been given the trout to repair. Someone had won it on Trade Me for $200.
The new owners returned the trout and they are now all safely in Greg Lee's house.

There was a man called Bob Lee who caught a big trout. It was so big it went to the museum and then to the airport but then a long time later they found out it was missing. So were the other two smaller ones. It made them sad!
It eventually was on Trade Me a long time later. A man was given it to fix and he said "I know this fish and it doesn't belong to these people"
He rang Greg Lee who had given him some photos of it many years earlier. Greg was very glad to have it back again and it is now in his home.

In 1946 there was a man called Bob Lee. One day he was excited as he caught a 191/2 pound trout. He was so amazed! The year before he had caught big trout but none as big as this. They were all trophy trouts. They got put in the museum and then at the airport by his son.
Then his son was sad as they went missing. He and his son Greg, went looking for them. The first two trout were found at Tisdall's sport store in Queen Street. The biggest trout was still missing.
After a few more years Greg gave a photo to a taxidermist called Ray just in case he might come across the 191/2 pound trout. Good Idea!
Then after seven years he rang Greg to say he's found the missing trout. Greg went and picked it up and now all the trout are in Greg Lee's house in Lake Tarawera.

In 1946 there was a man called Bob Lee who had caught three big trout in Lake Tarawera. One day the trout that were at the airport all went missing.
Robert Lee, Bobs son, searched for them and his son Greg helped. Greg found two at Tisdalls Sport store. Greg went to the taxidermist Ray. Greg gave him some photos of the big trout. Ray said if he saw it he'd let him know.
Greg asked another man about the trout but he said he knew nothing. That was interesting cos I think he did!
Greg got the trout back from Ray when he rang him to say someone had brought it on Trade Me and had brought it in to have repaired.
The Lee family got the three trout back which they were amazed about and I think its fantastic they did.
