good to see you got a few fish.

just one thing are you sure it was a 3.5lb whiting :shock: .

if so i am on the way down the n11 when you reply :lol: :lol: .
haven't seen many around that size all my years.

if you were fishing from a boat out of cork or some place like that i would not be so surprised.

Well I'm pretty sure it was a whiting,I checked it in a book and everything.

I'll try and post the pics soon

Is there any other fish that would look like a whiting that could weigh 3.5 lbs

A 3.5 lb whiting is big, big even for a specimen!!!!
Congrats!

Cant think of any other fish that may be confused with it. If it had the small sharp teeth of a whiting, thats usually conclusive. Pollack etc excluded
A small ling?

Post the Pic if you can, that way the lads here will be able to tell you exactly. I'd love to help, but I'll be on Ennereilly for the next few days :D :D

:shock: I didn't even know it was a specimen! Sure I'm only a relative newbie to the fishing scene!

Mate of mine had a 2 1/2 pound whiteing their at ennereily last week.

not being smart or anything but maby was it a small codling, if not then well done, thats a very nice whiting from the shore
