Hard to decide but I suppose the 5.23lb Mullet on the fly with 4lb leader beats the 22.25lb Conger on 30lb line,

best we have had on the baot this year would be my dads 14lbs 12oz pollock

best i had would be one of the spurdog we had in a great session in august, we could have had 20 over specimen size that day they were swarming. i forget the size of the one i am holding but the best was 16. we stopped weighing after 6 over 13 lbs had come to the boat. didnt do much from the shore this year





few others too, just to look at

[fishermannum1]

not a great year for me as far as catching the big fish, but as far as i can remmber my best ray weighed in at 14lb+
over a dozen seatrout over the 4lb mark, with a couple near the 5lb mark.
on my local spots for the seatrout i would average app; 60 for the year,
but on checking my books i'v got well over the 300 mark for 2008.
it has been the best i have seen it for years, and can only put it down, to the ban on nets.
just hopeing 2009 is just as good.....

one i forgot about, conger well over the 40lb mark....

The one that got away

in Ireland it must have been my 7lb 7oz Mullet.

close 2nd was watching my son get his first Blue 86.5lbs from Downings.

over in Scotland

managed my first double figured bass from the shore.
from the boat bit of toss up between a 17-12 spur or a 18lb Huss.
