Fairplay to those lads for firstly catching such a creature of the depths and especially for releasing such a fine fish ,i applaude them both 8)

I think Graeme writes for Sea angler. I recognise that yellow hull and hoodie from a Porgie Article last year where he give a few spots out for them on the Cornwall coast. There should be a nice write up on it soon in the angling press.

Fair play to the lads for the release.

Beautiful fish and weldone to the 2 guys, G Pullen is an old Sea Angler contributor always had great articles worth reading.

taken from the source above
The Angling Trust has recently launched a "notable fish list" in order to recognise such catches as all but a record.

this is a great idea as it gives the angler some recognition for catching and releasing the fish, is there anything like this in place in ireland? ive heard of a few cases of potential record blues caught off the cork coast in the last few years that were put back. some form of a "notable catch cert" would be nice for the anglers who decide to return their fish instead of killing it by bringing it ashore to weight.

This is the original footage of the biggest shark ever caught and filmed in British fishing history. Taken on rod and line by Wayne Comben and Graeme Pullen.
