Thanks MaG , I missed the tank\basket in the dark skanky kitchen, once I had it the fish was safe from Youki,I was just going to let him gorge on fish til he'd had enough & leave my catch alone but forgot he has an insatiable appetite, thanks so much for your help I'd still be fishing til the cows came home otherwise, having so much fun with this game, it's even better than Syberia 1, not often a sequel is better than the original.Greetings from JohannesburgSA, Lorraine
