east cork speci ray great friday

Super fish John big well done on the PB. I'd say your smile was wider then it's wing span!

and you had the cheek to tell me a few hours earlier that there was only small ones being caught

fine fish there john, thats my aim for the summer.

That's a fine ray great catch bhoy

well done on catching a fine fish,but shocking you had to kill it for the sake of a photo...
it really beggers believe sometimes why anglers kill such fine fish for the sake of a feed & a fish...shocking

whats so shocking about keeping a fish fish for the pot ,we all put a lot of time and expence
into fishing and its nice every now and then to get something back
well done again john

NICE RAY HAPPY MAN

cheers dave well happy

lovely ray man
last pic looks like you tuck it home

cheers paul ya i took it for the table. i dont kill every fish i catch but i do enjoy to eat my catch on occasion. i am fully aware of catch and realese and all the benefits of it and i teach my kids to be conservation minded when fishing but i also believe the odd fish coming home for the pan is ok so long as it is not wasted. i didnt just take it home for the sake of the picture and then toss it in the bin which i have seen fellas do 57 ray i caught last year i kept 4 for the pan some people might not like that but such is life.
i didnt post the pics to upset or offend anyone please dont turn this thread into a catch and release debate we have had enough of them on here already and they always end up turning sour
tight lines
john

thats a fair point john,if it was for the pan thats cool by me but as u said some people take home just to take pic's and then bin such a lovely fish.

magic fish john must have been a great fight congrats super fish dont see the point in some people giving out about taking 1 fish guys netting the beaches are doing alot more damage was on a east cork beach sat night and saw two boats very close to the shore couldnt be certain if they were netting but alot of reports r going on the forum showing the specifec beach which i think is very silly showing were the bass are showing up
