I hear ya.
I started off having a go at a mate's 3 incher. It was great fun. Not sure he appreciated me spending so much time on it so I got my own.
I went from 3 to 8 and of course recently, up to a whopping 14. Not as big as Dave L's mind and a little smaller than Michael O's. I needed to buy a massive tarp to cover it up though.
