Aye, good programme.

The guy fishing was sick as a dog off Antrim but they caught a skate of around 150Lbs I think.

Then fished with Mary Tyler-Moore out of Westport. Both he and Mary had huge skate on at the same time. Hers was landed first at around 145Lbs then after a fight of well over an hour his was landed and estimated at 200Lbs.

Absolutely cracking fish and good filming as well. Some size of mouth on her ........................................... and the skate had a huge orifice as well!

Personally, I preferred Mary on her American TV show, but fair play to her for diversifying into chartering.

Looking forward to next weeks programme now - what are they fishing for this time?
