Saturday night while targetting bass off an East Cork bass I caught a 11.5 lb Painted Ray.
The fish was taken on a 4/0 pennel pulley baited with fresh peeler crab cast just about 30 m out into a good surf.

That's the biggest fish I have ever caught in Ireland (had a bigger Eagle Ray in Lanzarote a few years ago).
