what did i catch?

lads i need some help to identifiy a fish, and its not an exotic foreign fish either, few months ago i foul hooked what i thought was my first bass at collimore, then after eating the evidence my missus warned me that i have no longer to bring home mackrel but that geourgeous bass, in hindsight i am beginning to wonder if it is a bass or could it be an elusive mullet
unfortunatly i cant download the photo to the forum as its too big so if you wouldnt mind having a look at the gallery on the 2nd page you should find 3 photos for brows79, its not the dog or flatfish photos, maybe you could have a look and tell me so i can scratch it of my species list,thanks a lot lads

its a grey mullet brown nice catch for there i suppose.

deffo a mullet, and you'd want to be sure where you are fishing has clean water, mullet do eat shite after all. i'm being seirous here, they do feed on what comes out the end of sewage pipes.

mmmmmmmm, mullet.

never heard of them bein eaten before, probably for the reasons fishinmidget said, eating shite and all that.

like he said, hes serious. they do.

hey brow dont tell the missus that gorgeus tasty bass was actually a shite eater or you could be having some none 2 tasty dinners served for revenge

yeah ta lads i am saying niche as far as she concerned she had a big fat bass

I'd be pretty careful about tellin her she has a big fat bass too Mite rather tell her she had a mullet

mullet. i've caught them locally there too - mind you that was when there was still crab and lobster pots on the go there and they'd feed on the offal used as bait (like at bulloch). i can't recall if there's a functioning sewage outlet nearby - probably - but you could console yourself that it might be coming from bono's house...

they are slow growers too, you'd be as well off returning them. otherwise, why sell yourself short? say it's a sea trout.

thanks a lot lads, dont think i want to hear anymore, i catch and cook a fish and end up eating bonos shite, i will never be able to listen to another U2 song without thinking of dirty mullet. in the name of.........................

i think your safe well at least when it comes to bono's crap as most of his comes out of his MOUTH.
he lives around the corner overlooking killiney bay just above the old tea rooms

rest assured it might have just been enyas crap

come to think of it more than likely jim sheridans crap he lives in the glass house beside coliemore

rest assured it might have just been enyas crap

don,t think her,s is smelly ,just gave eric a text he says people in killiney go for colonic irrigation twice a week and their poo dont smell at all come to think of it i ,ve never even known eric to let rip

According to the Marks and Spencers Sea Food Bible. Grey Mullet (no relation to red mullet,didnt know that!!) Looks and tastes similiar to sea bass! So simple mistake, If I ever catch either Im sure Ill be on the forum in the morning! and hopefully not on the toilet!

ah thanks for all that lads it cracked me up, some of your replys had me in stitches, one thing i do know is that i will know the difference next time if i am lucky enough to have a next time. hate this cold weather snap, cant wait to get out there
