Thanks everyone for your kind comments and replies

I would love to reply to you all individually but it would just take me too long

Martin, just for you, an individual reply:

:shock: I'm speechless Paula, and believe me, that's not what I'm known for normally I'm not the least surprised reading your (most excellent btw.) report now that you suffered from a bit of a hangover this morning this is an absolute monster of a mullet, my heartfelt congratulations, I'm well made up for both of you! The only one fly in the ointment is that it'll be really hard to do any better from now on

Thanks Martin, it's not often your speechless your not a man with few words that's for sure so I happy I managed to silence ya!!! Your wife will want tips from me next! Yeah, with regards to the hangover, what can I say. I celebrated with some wine, far too much in fact which is why I ended up with a stinking headache and hangover. I will never learn will I It was worth it at the time though and I've lived to tell the tale , that's the most important thing.

yes indeed Paula, I have had the pleasure to enjoy quite a few of these in vino veritas moments throughout my life and luckily survived them all without too much damage to mine and anyone else's body and soul, however, you seem to be on the right path to a rich and joyful life , hope you don't mind when I call you my little alter ego from now on

hope you don't mind when I call you my little alter ego from now on

Thanks very much Dave For me it's a fish of a lifetime and one that will be hard to beat for the pure fight it gave me, it was awesome!! 20 minutes felt more like 20 hours. No, I haven't been down to Kerry since May but it won't be too long now until we're away again and I can't wait. Although the mullet are brilliant and have kept me occupied all summer up at home, bass comes first for me and always will so a trip to Kerry beckons

Brilliant, great fish, later.

You should have a go at the mullet down here in Cork, they are like big fat carp, think the record for last year came from here if i'm not mistaken, gonna put a bit of time in this year and give the mullet a go. I foul hooked one right under the jaw spinning for bass last year, he was just under 4 pound i'd say, but boy did he go for it, I thought it was a big bass, my heart was racing seeing flashes of silver, when I got him out of the water I was thinking shame its a mullet but by god they put up a good fight, why don't I go for these more often??? remembering a friend of mine who used to fish for them, I think he developed a twitch, you would ask him "why the long face" he would reply "ahh, feckin mullet" I think he got a few grey hairs with frustration, well so he said

O, crackin fish by the way paula, big well done!

congratulation and about time too . the smile says it all, a great memory for you

excellent report,massive fish and a massive smile what more can you ask for well done

what a catch well done monster mullet

Brilliant, great fish, later.

Thanks Cathal They are a great fish to target, if you like your Seatrout then you will equally enjoy the mullet fishing, they give you a great fight and on light tackle the crack is amazing.

Thanks Tom. I was tired after getting it landed and very relieved too! It's by far my biggest mullet ever and I think it’s a PB that’s going to be hard to beat.
You should give them a go, they are great crack and when you hook one you know all about it. I know what your friend means, they do drive you mad, I have got a few grey hairs myself since I started fishing for them
I haven’t fished for the mullet down in Cork yet but have plans to go to Roscarberry this year which I am really looking forward too. I hear there is some very big fish down there.

congratulation and about time too . the smile says it all, a great memory for you

Thanks Martin Looking at the pictures again does bring back good memories of that night. For sure, it was the best fight that I have ever had from a fish.

excellent report,massive fish and a massive smile what more can you ask for well done

Thanks – I still smile when I think about it even although it was 8 months ago

:mrgreen: what a catch well done monster mullet

Thanks fishy1987
